Goal for AdV:

continuous 200 W laser, stable monomode beam (TEM00), 1064 nm frequency pre-stabilisation 1 Hz linewidth low power noise (~10-9 /sqrt(Hz) in AdV bandwidth) low beam jitter <10-11 rad/sqrt(Hz) at 10 Hz

R&D

1 W seed, amplified to 100 or 200 W

➔ Two 100 W laser with coherence addition? ➔ A direct 200 W laser?

→ decrease shot noise contribution, but increase radiation pressure noise contribution Thermal effects in the interferometer mirrors

→ need of thermal compensation system

Parametric instabilities

coupling of laser high order modes with mirror modes

Array of seismometers and microphones Building model + real-time monitoring of Newtonian noise Noise subtracted from h(t)

(contribution at low frequency)

Newtonian noise cancellation → R&D for “smart infrastructure”

(low noise air conditioning, fans, ...)

Better optics (polishing) and beam dumps New baffles to absorb light and ghost beams

in the tubes and towers, around the mirrors

Light recombination in the interferometer Scattered light + Vibrated parts (seismic/acoustic) Phase noise in the detected beam Reduce the coupling with seismic/acoustic noise Reducing the amount of scattered light
