Abstract A series of quantum locking theories have been proposed to enhance the quantum-noise-limited target sensitivity of the DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory. The quantum locking that uses a square completion optimizes the sensitivity across all frequencies. However, a substantial amount of data-series must be post-processed since the square completion is a form of signal processing technique. This paper approaches the optimal sensitivity across all frequencies from an alternative perspective: by optimizing the frequency dependence of a servo gain in a feedback loop. The optimal servo gain is formulated by comparing the alternative method with the square completion method for the same optical setup. This will be shown in general noise issues extending the framework of the quantum locking. We find that the optimal servo gain forms a non-feasible filter but has certain characteristics. We also find that the noise of the measurement signal deteriorates proportionally to the noise measured in the feedback loop when the servo gain is slightly imperfect.

Quantum noise in gravitational wave interferometers: an overview and recent developments

T. R. Corbitt, N. Mavalvala

We present an overview of quantum noise in gravitational wave interferometers. Gravitational wave detectors are extensively modified variants of a Michelson interferometer and the quantum noise couplings are strongly influenced by the interferometer configuration. We describe recent developments in the treatment of quantum noise in the complex interferometer configurations of present-day and future gravitational-wave detectors. In addition, we explore prospects for the use of squeezed light in future interferometers, including consideration of the effects of losses, and the choice of optimal readout schemes.

Input spectrum for heterodyne detection in advanced gravitational wave detectors without non-stationary shot-noise

P. T. Beyersdorf

Future interferometric gravitational wave detectors will make use of the coupling between shot noise and radiation pressure noise that produces a squeezed output for the quantum noise at the dark-port of the interferometer allowing these interferometers to operate with a sensitivity that exceeds the standard quantum limit at certain frequencies. The ability of the detector to take advantage of this squeezed output state depends in part on the readout system used. With the phase modulated laser input planned for these interferometers the quantum-noise limited sensitivity is slightly better when homodyne (rather than heterodyne) detection is used. We show that by modifying the laser input spectrum for these interferometers, readout with heterodyne detection can be made to have the same quantum-noise limited sensitivity as readout with homodyne detection.
