Electro-Optic Modulators and Modulation for Enhanced LIGO and Beyond

Document #:

LIGO-P080020-x0

Document type:

P - Publications

Abstract:

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is currently undergoing an upgrade to improve its sensitivity. The laser power will increase to 30W, leading to stronger requirements on the modulators for avoiding losses and thermal lensing.
