Available student project - Frequency distribution over fibre for next generation Gravitational Wave Detectors
Research fields
- Engineering in Physics
- Quantum Science and Technology
Project details
After the detection of gravitaitonal waves using the LIGO and Virgo obsevatories, R&D is underway to even further improve their sensitivity and reach into the Universe. The next large observatoy upgrade will install a new detector readout topology, which will require the distribution of a stabel phase reference around the observatories.
Required background
Matlab, optics, fibers
Project suitability
- 3rd year special project
- Honours project
- Phd or Masters
