Heterodyne Detection of Gravitational Waves in a Michelson Interferometer with a Vibrating Mirror
Abstract
Description
A new heterodyne detection method is suggested for detecting gravitational waves in a Michelson Interferometer. The method is based on interference between phase changes which are induced by a vibrating mirror with phase changes which are due to the gravitational waves. The advantage of using a second order correlation function in the present analysis is discussed.
