On Special Optical Modes and Thermal Issues in Advanced Gravitational Wave Interferometric Detectors

The sensitivity of present ground-based gravitational wave antennas is too low to detect many events per year. It has, therefore, been planned for years to build advanced detectors allowing actual astrophysical observations and investigations. In such advanced detectors, one major issue is to increa...
