Squeezing Light and Filter cavity

Squeezed vacuum injection is one of promising way to reduce the detector noises.

As a R&D activity for beyond the KAGRA detector, we have a plan to develop the filter cavity at TAMA.

Low loss mirror developments

NAOJ and UEC

(Univ. of Electro-Communications)

collaborate with Japanese coating companies

for low-loss mirror coating

developments.

world top class quality!

At least the best performance in Japan

446 J/cm2 with 10nsec pulse

44.6 GW/cm2 (peak power density)

This is tolerance for one shot pulse.

KAGRA IOO requireshigh power density (> 1 MW/cm2) tolerance for 10 year continuous operation.

SUMMARY

Recent few years we develop

low-loss mirror

with Japanese companies.

By using the mirror

the filter cavity tests at TAMA

are planned.
