Omnidirectional Gravitational Wave Detector with a Laser-Interferometric Gravitational Compass

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-09-22 v1

Abstract

Based on the Szekeres-Pirani gravitational compass we suggest the addition of a fourth, non-coplanar mass/mirror to the presently existing laser based gravitational wave observatories, enabling them to operate omnidirectionally, to filter out ambiguous interpretations and to point out the direction of the gravitational wave source.
