Vibration control for optical interferometry
Develop an active vibraiton isolation platform to provide a quiet, small displacement environment for high precision inteferometry.
Dr Bram Slagmolen, Professor David McClelland, Dr Robert Ward
Frequency distribution over fibre for next generation Gravitational Wave Detectors
We will investigate the possibility to distribute a phase reference over a 100m long optical fibre with a stability of hundreds of nanoradians. If succesfull this solution will be part of a selection process for implementation into the LIGO observatories.
Dr Bram Slagmolen, Professor David McClelland, Dr David Gozzard


Dual torsion pendulum for quantum noise limited sensing
Construct a small dual tosion pendulum which have their centre of mass co-incide and their rotational axis colinear. Inital diagnostics will be done using shadow sensors.
Dr Bram Slagmolen, Professor David McClelland, Dr Robert Ward


Quantum squeezed states for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
Using non-classical light states on laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors, to further enhance the best length measurement devices in the world.
Professor David McClelland, Professor Daniel Shaddock, Dr Bram Slagmolen
