3 Advanced LIGO optical configuration LIGO:Power recycled FPMI» Optical noise is limited by Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) AdvLIGO:GW signal enhancement using Detuned RSE» Two dips by optical spring, optical resonance» Can overcome the SQL QND detector Standard Quantum Limit FP cavity Laser PRM Power FP cavity Detuning BS GW signal LIGO- G547--R Aspen winter conference, January 25 3

4 Differences between AdvLIGO and 4m prototype 1 times shorter cavity length Arm cavity finesse at 4m chosen to be = to AdvLIGO» Storage time is x1 shorter. Control RF sidebands are 33/166 MHz instead of 9/18 MHz» Due to shorter PRC length. LIGO-I 1-watt laser, negligible thermal effects» 18W laser will be used in AdvLIGO. Noisier seismic environment in town» >1x1-6 m at 1Hz Smaller stack, commercial active seismic isolation» STACIS isolators in use on all test chambers, providing ~3 db of isolation from 1-1 Hz. LIGO-I single pendulum suspensions are used» AdvLIGO will use triple (MC, BS, PRM, SRM) and quad (ITMs, ETMs) suspensions. LIGO- G547--R Aspen winter conference, January 25 4

20 Looking for good signal for lock acquisition Unfortunately, no way to lock central part directly using the original double demodulation Dither locking for l - signal Divide signal by inside power» Good cancellation of power recycling V l = d d l V = AP V V V -V AP PO PO AP 2 VPO V PO Laser SP PRM PO ITMy BS SRM AP 1 ITMx V l ~ LPF LPF LPF LPF a few khz V PO (V PO ) V AP (V AP ) Digital calculation LIGO- G547--R Aspen winter conference, January 25 2

22 With l- dither-locked, there s always a good l+ signal, for all values of ls. The locking point may not be at l+ = º! The PRM follows the swinging of the SRM; this signal keeps the combined cavity locked. Then, once ls is locked, we ll recover l+ = º. Lock l+ with DDM at SP LIGO- G547--R Aspen winter conference, January 25 22
