6. 6 1. Seismic noise How can we reduce seismic noise ? (1) Small seismic motion site (2) Good vibration isolation system

7. 7 1. Seismic noise (2) Good vibration isolation system Mirrors are suspended. Slow motion Mirror follows motion of support point. Rapid motion Mirror can not follow motion of support point.

8. 8 1. Seismic noise (2) Good vibration isolation system Transfer function : (Motion of mirror)/(Motion of support)

9. 9 1. Seismic noise (2) Good vibration isolation system Unfortunately, single pendulum does not have enough isolation for gravitational wave detection. We need multi stage isolation system. M. Punturo, GWDAW Rome 2010 VIRGO: Super Attenuator Mirror

10. 10 1. Seismic noise (1) Small seismic motion site Site selection is essential ! How do we measure seismic motion ? It is not easy even if seismic motion is typical one … (a) Excellent (not usual !) commercial accelerometer (b) Sensor made by ourselves … One example : Michelson interferometer A. Araya et al., Review of Scientific Instrument 64 (1993) 1337.

11. 11 1. Seismic noise (1) Small seismic motion site Where is silent sites ?Underground ! BFO (Black Forest Observatory): -162m BRG (Berggieshübel seism Observatory): -36m GRFO (Graefenberg borehole station): -116m Kamioka (Kamioka mine): -1000m Kamioka mine M. Punturo, GWDAW Rome 2010

16. 16 1. Seismic noise (1) Small seismic motion site Many people measured seismic motion in Kamioka mine. 100 times smaller seismic motion at center of Kamioka mine. However …

17. 17 1. Seismic noise All measurement was at center of mine. Mirror must be far from center !

26. 26 1. Seismic noise (1) Small seismic motion site Inside of mine > 50 m Silent sufficiently ! Main mirrors 50 m from ground

27. 27 1. Seismic noise Small summary of seismic motion Underground site is excellent. 100 times smaller seismic motion Depth of mirror must be more than 50 m. If not so, seismic motion is not so small even if the site is country side … We need excellent and huge vibration isolation system.

28. 28 2. Quantum noise Quantum noise Quantum amplitude and phase fluctuations of light Limit from quantum mechanics

29. 29 2. Quantum noise What generates quantum fluctuation of light ? Interference between light and vacuum fluctuation Phase and amplitude fluctuation Phase fluctuation : Shot noise Gravitational wave shifts phase of light.

30. 30 How do we reduce shot noise ? 2. Quantum noise Dark fringe No light at photo detector (if gravitational wave does not come) If there is DC power, interference between this DC light and vacuum fluctuation disturbs phase measurement.

31. 31 2. Quantum noise Amplitude fluctuation : Radiation pressure noise http://spacefiles.blogspot.com Photons come at random (amplitude fluctuation). Back action of photon is also at random. → Radiation pressure noise

32. 32 2. Quantum noise Can amplitude fluctuation generate radiation pressure noise ? Vacuum Common motion of mirrors ?

33. 33 2. Quantum noise Can amplitude fluctuation generate radiation pressure noise ? Vacuum Differential motion of mirrors due to vacuum from output port C.M. Caves, Physical Review Letters 45 (1980) 75.

34. 34 2. Quantum noise How do shot and radiation pressure noise depend on laser power (P)? Shot noise : Gravitational wave signal is proportional to P. Interference between light and vacuum is proportional to P 1/2. Shot noise is inversely proportional to P 1/2. Radiation pressure noise : Interference between light and vacuum is proportional to P 1/2. This is the back action to mirror. Radiation pressure noise is proportional to P 1/2.
