High-Gain Power Recycling of a Fabry Perot Michelson Interferometer for a Gravitational-Wave Antenna
Abstract
Power recycling was implemented on a fully suspended prototype interferometer with arm lengths of 20 m. A wave-front-sensing technique for alignment control of the suspended mirrors was also implemented, which allowed for several hours of stable operation. A power-recycling gain of greater than 12 was achieved, a significant increase over the highest gain in a suspended mirror Fabry Perot Michelson interferometer reported to date.
