Low frequency signals of large scale GW-interferometers
Abstract
Application of the large scale gravitational wave interferometers for measurement of geophysical signals at very low frequencies is considered. Analysis is concentrated on the mechanism of penetration of quasistatic geophysical perturbation through the main interferometer output. It is shown that it has a parametrical nature resulted in slow variations of the optical transfer function of the interferometer. Geophysical modulation index is calculated for any harmonical component of the output spectrum, but mainly for a photon circulation frequency appeared in the case of stochastic illumination of modes neighbour to the central resonance. Value of the effect is estimated for different operational regimes of the device. For improvement of geophysical signal readout a modernization of the instrument with using of two component resonance optical pump is proposed and a correspondent calculation is carried out. Numerical estimations for different regimes of the setup are given together with discussion of possible application for measuring some weak gravitational effects.
