Electromagnetic (high-frequency) gravitational wave detectors: Interferometers revisited

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2024-06-06 v1 Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics

Abstract

Increased interest in pushing the frontier of gravitational wave searches to higher frequencies (kHz and beyond) has resulted in a variety of different proposed experimental concepts. A significant fraction of them are based on the coupling between classical electromagnetism and gravity. We highlight some differences and similarities between different approaches, showcasing the rich phenomenology arising from this coupling. We use the opportunity to re-derive the response function of interferometers as the low-frequency limit of a broader picture. This article was prepared as proceedings for Moriond Cosmology 2024.
