Abstract
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors are promising instruments to make the first direct detection of gravitational waves, and later to permanently open a new window on the universe [1, 2, 3, 4]. A detector like Virgo aims at observing signals in the 10 Hz – 10 kHz band. The detectors have very strong noise requirements, bringing challenging designs of control loops.
