Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory News
LIGO Continues Making Waves
Oct 1, 2018 — It’s an incredible story: Building the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) took a collaboration of over 1000 people, some $500 million in funding from the National Science Foundation over three decades, and a lot of patience. But the vision paid off with observational evidence of one of the greatest mysteries in physics — the existence of gravitational waves. In 2001, the first two LIGO facilities came online in the U.S. — one in Livingston, La., and
Extreme Laser Stability Key to aLIGO and VIRGO Successes
Sep 27, 2018 — By any measure, gravitational-wave detection and analysis has proved to be a spectacular success for “big science.” It also represents one of the singular achievements of the photonics community, pushing our industry’s technology...
CMS, LIGO Collaborate for MARS Conference Presentation
VIENNA, March 21, 2018 — In collaboration with Garrett Cole, co-founder of Crystalline Mirror Solutions (CMS) GmbH, David Reitze, executive director of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and professor at the California Institute of Technology,...
Neutron-Star Merger Named Breakthrough of the Year
WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 19, 2018 — Science Magazine has chosen the first observations of a neutron-star merger, a violent celestial event that transfixed physicists and astronomers, as its 2017 Breakthrough of the Year. As the two neutron stars spiraled together 130 million light...
LIGO Detects Third Instance of Gravitational Waves
LIVINGSTON PARISH, La., June 26, 2017 — The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) has announced the third detection of gravitational waves. The detection points to merging black holes that are twice as far away from Earth as the two earlier pairs – about 3...
Atom Optics Comes of Age
GREENBELT, Md., Oct. 19, 2012 — NASA is funding atom interferometry, a variation on the 200-year-old optical technique, in the belief that the emerging, highly precise measurement technology will allow the detection of ripples in space-time and other events.
Quantum sensor sets new limits
BATON ROUGE, La. – Researchers at Louisiana State University (LSU) are taking advantage of the quantum properties of light to design the world’s most sensitive optical interferometer. Optical interferometers are used in a vast range of applications, including...
LIGO and Virgo Form Alliance
Apr 1, 2007 — A collaborative effort has been formed to search for gravitational waves from sources in and beyond the Milky Way galaxy and to pinpoint the source of the signals. The waves were predicted by Albert Einstein in 1916 but have not been directly...
APS Names 2007 Award Recipients
Oct 13, 2006 — The American Physical Society (APS) recently named James P. Eisenstein, a physics and applied physics professor at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech); Steven M. Girvin, a physics and applied physics professor at Yale University; and...
