  1. Higher order Laguerre-Gauss modes in future gravitational wave detectors S. Chelkowski University of Birmingham 25.09.2008 LSC Meeting, Amsterdam LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  2. Overview • Motivation for using Higher-Order Laguerre modes • Summary of length and alignment sensing with higher order Laguerre-Gauss modes • Arm cavity mirror radii of curvature trade-off analysis • Using advanced Virgo as an example • Use inspiral ranges as figure of merit • Three scenarios lead to four different comparisons of the fundamental LG00 and the proposed LG33 mode LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  10. Clipping loss comparison LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  11. Arm cavity mirror radii of curvature trade-off analysis Simulation parameters: • Bench version 4.1 • Latest IFO model of Adv.Virgo • Rescaled beam size for LG modes • Used thermal noise scaling factor by J-.Y. Vinet • Thermo-elastic TN compensation included • Coating radius 17cm according to Virgo note VIR-038A-08 (2008) Figure of merit: Inspiral ranges LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  12. Advanced Virgo sensitivity LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  13. Three Scenarios • We buy one a set of optimized mirrors for each mode configuration; same clipping losses • We buy mirrors which are compatible with both mode configurations; same radii of curvature • We buy mirrors optimized for the LG00 mode and use the TCS system to optimize them later for LG33 and vice versa LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  14. Scenario 1: Same clipping losses Reference configuration Problem: The mirrors are not compatible! 17% 25% 27% 23% 24% 32% LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  15. Scenario 2: Same radii of curvature • Trade-off concerning clipping loss • LG00 configuration much worse than current baseline Not a good option! -21% 21% -24% 32% -24% 28% Problem: LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  16. Scenario 3: Use thermal compensation system to the change RoC Credit to S. Hild LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  17. Scenario 3a: Use thermal compensation system to the change RoC Advanced LIGO TCS TCS range of 120m LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  18. Scenario 3a: Change RoC with TCS, optimisation for fundamental mode Problem: Implementation of such TCS might be difficult Looks promising! 0% 21% 0% 32% 0% 29% LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  19. Scenario 3b: Use thermal compensation system to the change RoC Advanced LIGO TCS TCS range of 120m LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  20. Scenario 3b: Change RoC with TCS, optimisation for LG33 mode Problem: Implementation of such TCS might be difficult Looks promising! -15% 17% -18% 27% -18% 24% LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  21. Conclusion • LG modes reduce the thermal noise in the IFO • LG modes compatible with current IFO designs • Beam parameters are different • RoC have to be matched, or clipping loss are different • Length and alignment signals of LG33better than LG00 for the same mirror sizes • Inspiral ranges of RoC compatible IFO configuration (Scenario two) are low for fundamental LG00 mode • Best solution uses Thermal Compensation System to adapt RoC to the desired mode LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  22. Higher order Laguerre Gauss modes in triangular cavities LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  23. Behaviour of LG modes in triangular cavities • Two possible solutions for this problem • Do not use triangular cavities • Use sinusoidal LG modes • Thermo-elastic noise of sinusoidal LG modes needs to be investigated! For more details see talk by M. Barsuglia Virgo Biweekly Meeting 1/7/2008 LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008

  24. ConclusionLG modes in triangular cavities • Helical LG modes are not compatible with triangular cavities • Either use sinusoidal LG modes or use modecleaner cavities with an even number of mirrors • Helical and sinusoidal LG modes have the same brownian thermal noise • Thermo-elastic noise of sinusoidal LG modes unknown • should be investigated LSC Meeting, Amsterdam 09/2008
