Precision Interferometry in a New Shape Higher-order Laguerre-Gauss Modes for Gravitational Wave Detection
With his Ph.D. thesis, presented here in the format of a "Springer Theses", Paul Fulda won the 2012 GWIC thesis prize awarded by the Gravitational Wave International Committee. The impact of thermal noise on future gravitational wave detectors depends on the size and shape of the interroga...
