Optimization of parameters of a couple generator-receiver for a gravitational Hertz experiment

TL;DR

This paper reviews various approaches to laboratory gravitational wave experiments and suggests that using impulsive electromagnetic and acoustical waves in nonlinear media could be the most promising method.

Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of existing schemes and proposes an optimized parameter setup for a gravitational Hertz experiment using shock waves in nonlinear media.

Findings

Impulsive waves in nonlinear media are promising for gravitational wave detection.

Laboratory GW-Hertz experiments can be optimized using electromagnetic and acoustical shock waves.

Analysis indicates potential for more effective gravitational wave generation and detection in controlled settings.

Abstract

Brief review of principal ideas, estimates and schemes proposed by Russian research groups in respect of the gravitational radiation generated and detected in the laboratory condition is presented. Analysis leads to conclusion that the more promising variant of the laboratory GW-Hertz experiment might be associated with power electromagnetic and acoustical impulsive or shock waves travelling and interacting in nonlinear optic-acoustical medium
