The book is about the history of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory and the 2015 discovery of gravitational waves.
12.
It uses many advanced manufacturing techniques including " finite element analysis, vibration stress relief and three-dimensional laser interferometers ."
13.
They are predicted to be strong sources of gravitational radiation, strong enough to be detected with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna.
14.
He was NASA Mission Scientist and chair of the US science team for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory ( LIGO ).
15.
In other words : invariance of the speed of light provides the reference for the self-calibrating property of the ring laser interferometer.
16.
From 1980 onward Billing commissioned the development and construction in MPA in Garching of a laser interferometer with an arm length of 30m.
17.
The present-day generation of resonant mass antennas and laser interferometers has reached the necessary sensitivity to detect gravitational waves from sources in the Milky Way.
18.
The group is involved in both ground-based ( Virgo interferometer ) and space-based ( Laser Interferometer Space Antenna and its precursor LISA Pathfinder ) instruments.
19.
The L-shaped detector here and its recently completed twin in Hanford, Wash ., are called called LIGO ( pronounced LIE-go ), for Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.
20.
Laser interferometers are now used routinely in patients with optical problems, such as cataracts, to assess the health of the retina before subjecting them to surgery.
