Abstract

This thesis aims to advance the experimental techniques of dark matter detection to exploit the progress of low-noise frequency metrology in recent decades. Depending upon the resonator under investigation, such frequency metrology techniques have the ability to sense field-like candidates (weakly-interacting slim particles), such as the axion, and particle-like dark matter candidates, broadly termed WIMPs (weakly-interacting massive particles). Such sensitive electromagnetic systems also have potential in gravitational wave sensing.
