Xavier Ja\'en, Pere Talavera
TL;DR
This paper introduces a semi-rigid gravitational wave detector design that reduces device size by utilizing a fixed mirror and a nearby free mirror to measure light travel time delays caused by gravitational waves.
Contribution
It presents a novel semi-rigid detector concept that shortens the size of gravitational wave detectors compared to traditional designs.
Findings
The proposed design can be more compact than conventional detectors.
The method relies on measuring light travel time delays.
The approach offers a new avenue for gravitational wave detection.
Abstract
We propose a novel approach to detect gravitational waves based on a semi-rigid detector. The approach relies upon the time delay that the light takes to travel from a fixed mirror at the end of a rigid bar to a nearby free mirror. We show that the dimensions of the experimental device can be shortened in comparison to the conventional ones based on two free mirrors.
