物理学特別講義AI

Observing Gravitational Waves
This course is an introduction to the phenomena of gravitational waves, their basic properties and the experimental techniques that made their observation possible. The course will first explore the theoretical aspects of gravitational waves, and then look at the design constraints and noise limitations for gravitational wave interferometers.

Topics (subject to change): Gravitational waves: production, quadrupole formula, interaction with media, energy and momentum, inspiral wave forms. Design of a gravitational wave interferometers: antenna response, thermal noise, quantum noise and vacuum squeezing, technical noise sources. Experimental techniques used in gravitational wave interferometers: feed-back control, Pound-Drever-Hall locking, wave front sensing and alignment control, lock acquisition.

教科書
We shall not follow any single textbook or set of existing notes. Thus, no text book is required. I will make my lecture notes available. If you would like to refer to a textbook I recommend… … for general relativity reference: • Sean M. Carroll, Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity, Benjamin Cummings (2003). A very similar set of lecture notes (by the same author) is freely available on-line, • Sean M. Carroll, Lecture notes on general relativity. Other excellent textbooks are • Robert M. Wald, General Relativity, University of Chicago Press. • Misner, Thorne, Wheeler Gravitation, Freeman. • Steven Weinberg, Gravitation and Cosmology, Cambridge University Press. … for experimental reference, among others: • Gregory Harry et. al., Optical Coatings and Thermal Noise in Precision Measurement (ISBN 978-1-107-00338-5) • Eric Black, An introduction to Pound–Drever–Hall laser frequency stabilization (http://elmer.tapir.caltech.edu/ph237/week13/BlackAJP01.pdf)
