Investigation of a laser walk-off angle sensor and its application to tilt measurement in gravitational wave detectors

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The sensitivity obtainable from an angle sensor using the walk-off of a laser between two parallel mirrors is analysed and investigated experimentally. A preliminary angle noise floor result of 1.0 x 10(-10) rad/root Hz was obtained, limited by the pointing noise of the simple laser pointer used. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights: reserved.
