Glasgow speed meter proof-of-principle experiment update

Document #:

LIGO-G1701240-x0

Document type:

G - Presentations (eg Graphics)

Abstract:

The ERC speed meter at the University of Glasgow aims to demonstrate a reduction in quantum noise due to back-action in a Sagnac interferometer over an equivalent Michelson configuration. We will discuss the recent progress made in the construction of our metre-scale vacuum experiment.
