Classical and Quantum Gravity 41(21) 215013-215013 2024年10月10日 査読有りAbstract A series of quantum locking theories have been proposed to enhance the quantum-noise-limited target sensitivity of the DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory. The quantum locking that uses a square completion optimizes the sensitivity across all frequencies. However, a substantial amount of data-series must be post-processed since the square completion is a form of signal processing technique. This paper approaches the optimal sensitivity across all frequencies from an alternative perspective: by optimizing the frequency dependence of a servo gain in a feedback loop. The optimal servo gain is formulated by comparing the alternative method with the square completion method for the same optical setup. This will be shown in general noise issues extending the framework of the quantum locking. We find that the optimal servo gain forms a non-feasible filter but has certain characteristics. We also find that the noise of the measurement signal deteriorates proportionally to the noise measured in the feedback loop when the servo gain is slightly imperfect.

Galaxies 12(2) 13-13 2024年3月15日DECIGO is a future Japanese project for the detection of gravitational waves in space. To conduct various scientific missions, including the verification of cosmic inflation through the detection of primordial gravitational waves as the main objective, DECIGO is designed to have high sensitivity in the frequency band from 0.1 to 10 Hz, with arms of length 1000 km. Furthermore, the use of the Fabry-Perotcavity in these arms has been established for the DECIGO project. In this paper, we scrutinize the significance of the Fabry-Perot cavity for promoting this project, with a focus on the possibility of observing gravitational waves from cosmic inflation and binary compact star systems as indicators. The results show that using the Fabry-Perot cavity is extremely beneficial for detecting them, and it is anticipated to enable the opening of a new window in gravitational wave astronomy.

Galaxies 11(6) 111-111 2023年11月9日Quantum locking using optical spring and homodyne detection has been devised to reduce the quantum noise that limits the sensitivity of the DECIGO, a space-based gravitational-wave antenna in the frequency band around 0.1 Hz for the detection of primordial gravitational waves. The reduction in the upper limit of energy density ΩGW from 2×10−15 to 1×10−16, as inferred from recent observations, necessitates improved sensitivity in the DECIGO to meet its primary science goals. To accurately evaluate the effectiveness of this method, this paper considers a detection mechanism that takes into account the influence of vacuum fluctuations on homodyne detection. In addition, an advanced signal processing method is devised to efficiently utilize signals from each photodetector, and design parameters for this configuration are optimized for the quantum noise. Our results show that this method is effective in reducing quantum noise, despite the detrimental impact of vacuum fluctuations on its sensitivity.

Physical Review D 107(2) 022007 2023年1月19日Decihertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO) is a future mission for a space-borne laser interferometer. DECIGO has 1000-km-long arm cavities mainly to detect the primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) at lower frequencies around 0.1 Hz. Observations in the electromagnetic spectrum have lowered the bounds on the upper limit of PGWs energy density (Ω_(gw) ∼ 10⁻¹⁵ → 10⁻¹⁶). As a result, DECIGO’s target sensitivity, which is mainly limited by quantum noise, needs further improvement. To maximize the feasibility of detection while constrained by DECIGO’s large diffraction loss, a quantum locking technique with an optical spring was theoretically proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the PGWs. In this paper, we experimentally verify one key element used in the theory: sensitivity optimization by completing the square of multiple detector outputs. This experiment is operated on a simplified tabletop optical setup with classical noise simulating quantum noise. We succeed in getting the best of the sensitivities with two different laser powers by the square completion method.

Physics Letters A 453 128485 2022年11月29日Radiation pressure (RP) noise, one component of quantum noise, can limit the sensitivity of laser interferometric gravitational wave (GW) detectors at lower frequencies. We conceived a possible RP noise cancellation method, using phase flipped ponderomotive-squeezed light (FPSL) incident on free-mass mirrors in interferometers' arms. This possibility is investigated under the constraint that the method is for space-based GW detectors in a broad frequency band lower than 1 Hz without using a long optical cavity. Considering various patterns in a single path small-scale case to generate the FPSL, we proved that no configuration exists in the single path case.

Physical Review D 106(4) 2022年8月18日The Juggled interferometer (JIFO) is an earth-based gravitational wave detector using repeatedly free-falling test masses. With no worries of seismic noise and suspension thermal noise, the JIFO can have much better sensitivity at lower frequencies than the current earth-based gravitational wave detectors. The data readout method of a JIFO could be challenging if one adopts the fringe-locking method. We present a phase reconstruction method in this paper by building up a complex function which has a fringe-independent signal-to-noise ratio. Considering the displacement noise budget of the Einstein Telescope (ET), we show that the juggled test masses significantly improve the sensitivity at 0.1-2.5$\,$Hz even with discontinuous data. The science cases brought with the improved sensitivity would include detecting quasi-normal modes of black holes with $10^4-10^5\,M_{\odot}$, testing Brans-Dicke theory with black-hole and neutron-star inspirals, and detecting primordial-black-hole-related gravitational waves. 11 pages, 9 figures

Galaxies 10(1) 25-25 2022年2月1日The DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (DECIGO) is a space gravitational wave (GW) detector. DECIGO was originally designed to be sensitive enough to observe primordial GW background (PGW). However, due to the lowered upper limit of the PGW by the Planck observation, further improvement of the target sensitivity of DECIGO is required. In the previous studies, DECIGO’s parameters were optimized to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the PGW to quantum noise including the effect of diffraction loss. To simulate the SNR more realistically, we optimize DECIGO’s parameters considering the GWs from double white dwarfs (DWDs) and the thermal noise of test masses. We consider two cases of the cutoff frequency of GWs from DWDs. In addition, we consider two kinds of thermal noise: thermal noise in a residual gas and internal thermal noise. To investigate how the mirror geometry affects the sensitivity, we calculate it by changing the mirror mass, keeping the mirror thickness, and vice versa. As a result, we obtained the optimums for the parameters that maximize the SNR that depends on the mirror radius. This result shows that a thick mirror with a large radius gives a good SNR and enables us to optimize the design of DECIGO based on the feasibility study of the mirror size in the future.

2022年1月1日DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO) is a future mission for a space-borne laser interferometer. DECIGO has 1,000-km-long arm cavities mainly to detect the primordial gravitational waves (PGW) at lower frequencies around 0.1 Hz. Observations in the electromagnetic spectrum have lowered the bounds on the upper limit of PGW energy density ($Ω_{\rm gw} \sim 10^{-15} \to 10^{-16}$). As a result, DECIGO's target sensitivity, which is mainly limited by quantum noise, needs further improvement. To maximize the feasibility of detection while constrained by DECIGO's large diffraction loss, a quantum locking technique with an optical spring was theoretically proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the PGW. In this paper, we experimentally verify one key element of the optical-spring quantum locking: sensitivity optimization by completing the square of multiple detector outputs. This experiment is operated on a simplified tabletop optical setup with classical noise simulating quantum noise. We succeed in getting the best of the sensitivities with two different laser powers by the square completion method. 10 pages, 14 figures

Physics Letters A 402 127365 2021年6月28日In our previous research, simulation showed that a quantum locking scheme with homodyne detection in sub-cavities is effective in surpassing the quantum noise limit for Deci-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO) in a limited frequency range. This time we have simulated an optical spring effect in the sub-cavities of the quantum locking scheme. We found that the optimized total quantum noise is reduced in a broader frequency band, compared to the case without the optical spring effect significantly improving the sensitivity of DECIGO to the primordial gravitational waves.

Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics 2021(5) 05A105 2021年2月22日<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The Deci-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO) is a future Japanese space mission with a frequency band of 0.1 Hz to 10 Hz. DECIGO aims at the detection of primordial gravitational waves, which could have been produced during the inflationary period right after the birth of the Universe. There are many other scientific objectives of DECIGO, including the direct measurement of the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe, and reliable and accurate predictions of the timing and locations of neutron star/black hole binary coalescences. DECIGO consists of four clusters of observatories placed in heliocentric orbit. Each cluster consists of three spacecraft, which form three Fabry–Pérot Michelson interferometers with an arm length of 1000 km. Three DECIGO clusters will be placed far from each other, and the fourth will be placed in the same position as one of the other three to obtain correlation signals for the detection of primordial gravitational waves. We plan to launch B-DECIGO, which is a scientific pathfinder for DECIGO, before DECIGO in the 2030s to demonstrate the technologies required for DECIGO, as well as to obtain fruitful scientific results to further expand multi-messenger astronomy.</jats:p>

Galaxies 9(1) 14-14 2021年2月16日The DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (DECIGO) is the future Japanese, outer space gravitational wave detector. We previously set the default design parameters to provide a good target sensitivity to detect the primordial gravitational waves (GWs). However, the updated upper limit of the primordial GWs by the Planck observations motivated us toward further optimization of the target sensitivity. Previously, we had not considered optical diffraction loss due to the very long cavity length. In this paper, we optimize various DECIGO parameters by maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the primordial GWs to quantum noise, including the effects of diffraction loss. We evaluated the power spectrum density for one cluster in DECIGO utilizing the quantum noise of one differential Fabry–Perot interferometer. Then we calculated the SNR by correlating two clusters in the same position. We performed the optimization for two cases: the constant mirror-thickness case and the constant mirror-mass case. As a result, we obtained the SNR dependence on the mirror radius, which also determines various DECIGO parameters. This result is the first step toward optimizing the DECIGO design by considering the practical constraints on the mirror dimensions and implementing other noise sources.

Galaxies 9(1) 9-9 2021年1月26日The DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (DECIGO) is designed to detect gravitational waves at frequencies between 0.1 and 10 Hz. In this frequency band, one of the most important science targets is the detection of primordial gravitational waves. DECIGO plans to use a space interferometer with optical cavities to increase its sensitivity. For evaluating its sensitivity, diffraction of the laser light has to be adequately considered. There are two kinds of diffraction loss: leakage loss outside the mirror and higher-order mode loss. These effects are treated differently inside and outside of the Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity. We estimated them under the conditions that the FP cavity has a relatively high finesse and the higher-order modes do not resonate. As a result, we found that the effects can be represented as a reduction of the effective finesse of the cavity with regard to quantum noise. This result is useful for optimization of the design of DECIGO. This method is also applicable to any FP cavities with a relatively small beam cut and the finesse sufficiently higher than 1.
