A LIGO Double Pendulum Suspension Prototype for Reducing Unwanted Cross-Couplings
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a Michelson Interferometer with 4km long arms used to detect gravitational waves passing through earth. LIGO uses extremely isolated optics in the form of suspensions to measure slight changes in laser path length down the two interfe...
