The effect of GW is very small
h ~ 10-23 => distance of 1m changes 10-23m
Corresponds to:
change by ~0.01 angstrom (or 1pm)
for distance between the sun and the earth
1.5 x 1011 m
changes
by 1/100 of a H atom diameter!

GW Detection = Length measurement
The longer arms, the bigger the effect
 GW works as strain => dx = hGW x Larm
 Until cancellation of the signal happens
in the arms
 Optimum arm length


An IFO produces a continuous signal stream
in the GW channel

The detector is fixed on the ground
=> can not be directed to a specific angle

GWs and noises are, in principle, indistinguishable
=> Anything we detect is GW

Reduce noises!


Obs. distance is inv-proportional to noise level
x10 better => x10 farther => x1000 more galaxies

Filter analysis (amplitude & phase

 BH-BH binaries
Similar waveforms,
but more difficult to predict
because of earlier merging

Burst gravitational waves
 Supernovae, binary merger phase, etc
Accurate waveforms unpredictable
=> Find signals with an “unusual” amplitude
=> Important to distinguish from non-stationary noises

Continuous waves
 Pulsars
Sinusoidal signal with some modulations
=> Longterm integration
=> Important to distinguish from line noises
(Remark: power line freq. US 60Hz, India 50Hz)

Stochastic gravitational wave background
 From early universe
The waveforms are random
=> Correlation analysis of the detector network
=> The total GW flux can be estimated
=> Or, skymap of the flux is obtained from radiometric
analysis

In all cases, it is highly desirable to have
the detectors to have comparable sensitivities

GWs ~ ripples of the spacetime

Not yet directly detected
~ the effect is so small (h<10-21)

Michelson-type interferometers are used

GW detection is a precise length
(=displacement) measurement!

GW effect is very small

Basically, the larger, the better.
LIGO has two largest interferometers
in the world, and the third one will have
very important role in GW astronomy

IFO consists of many components
Optics / Mechanics / Electronics
and their combinations (e.g. Opto-Electronics)

Noises and signals are, in principle, indistinguishable.
Noise reduction is essential
