Resonant dampers for parametric instabilities in gravitational wave detectors

Advanced gravitational wave interferometric detectors will operate at their design sensitivity with nearly ~1  MW of laser power stored in the arm cavities. Such large power may lead to the uncontrolled growth of acoustic modes in the test masses due to the transfer of optical energy to the mechanic...
