New Adaptive Optics Technology for Gravitational Wave Detectors
A new system, FROnt Surface Type Irradiator (FROSTI), has been developed to enhance the power of gravitational wave detectors.
Developed by physicists at the University of California Riverside, US, FROSTI will allow future detectors to run at higher laser powers, reducing noise and expanding capabilities.
The technology compensates for temperature changes in optical components, enabling next-generation machines to detect gravitational waves emitted when the universe was just 0.1% of its current age.
Gravitational waves are
distortions in spacetime that occur when massive astronomical objects accelerate and collide.
With FROSTI, future versions of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) will be able to detect these waves, expanding our understanding of the universe.
