Gravito-optics and intensity correlations for binary inspiral signal detections

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2023-08-01 v3

Abstract

We examine the correlation functions associated with intensity interferometry and gravito-optics of gravitational wave signals from compact binary coalescences. Previous theoretical studies of the gravito-optics of gravitational waves has concentrated on the characterization of both the classical and the non-classical properties of signals from cosmological sources in the early Universe. These previous works assume a periodic signal similar to the signals studied widely in optics and quantum optics and do not apply to transient signals. We develop the gravito-optics of intensity correlations for descriptions of the detection of transient signals from compact binary coalescences and apply these methods to calculate the two-point intensity correlations for the gravitational wave discovery. We also discuss the necessary theoretical work required for the description of the quantum gravito-optics of intensity correlations in the detection of signals from binary inspirals.
