The observation of gravitational waves with a global network of interferometric detectors such as advanced LIGO, advanced Virgo, and KAGRA will make it possible to probe into the nature of space-time structure. Besides Einstein's general…
We propose a scheme for detecting and differentiating deeply subwavelength particles based on their spatial features. Our approach combines scattering from an ultrasonically modulated nanopatterend grating with heterodyne techniques to…
The past decade has witnessed the development of a large variety of new flat optics referred to as metasurfaces [1]. These metasurfaces are relying on arrays of a large variety of phase shifting elements. This article aims at presenting a…
Laser frequency noise is a dominant noise background for the detection of gravitational waves using long-baseline optical interferometry. Amelioration of this noise requires near simultaneous strain measurements on more than one…
We present a review of modern optical techniques being used and developed for the field of gravitational wave detection. We describe the current state-of-the-art of gravitational waves detector technologies with regard to optical layouts,…
Periodic nanostructures are fundamental elements in optical instrumentation as well as basis structures in integrated electronic circuits. Decreasing sizes and increasing complexity of nanostructures have made roughness a limiting parameter…
The detection of high-frequency gravitational waves around kHz is critical to understanding the physics of binary neutron star mergers. A new interferometer design has been proposed in [Phys. Rev. X {\bf 13}, 021019 (2023)], featuring an…
Gravitational wave searches rely on a combination of methods, including matched filtering, coherent analyses, and more recent machine learning based pipelines. For compact binary coalescences, where signals originate from the relativistic…
A method is given which renders indirect detection of strong gravitational waves possible. This is based on the reflection (collision) of a linearly polarized electromagnetic shock wave from (with) a cross polarized impulsive and shock…
We consider a recent scheme of gravitational wave detection using atomic interferometers as inertial sensors, and reinvestigate its configuration using the concept of sensitivity functions. We show that such configuration can suppress noise…
We experimentally demonstrate the phase relations of 3-port gratings by investigating 3-port coupled Fabry-Perot cavities. Two different gratings which have the same 1st order diffraction efficiency but differ substantially in their 2nd…
We present a refractometric sensor realized as a stack of metallic gratings with subwavelength features and embedded within a low-index dielectric medium. Light is strongly confined through funneling mechanisms and excites resonances that…
Diffraction gratings are famous for their ability to exhibit, near a Wood anomaly, an arbitrarily large angular dispersion, e.g., with respect to the incidence angle or wavelength. For a diffraction grating under incidence by a plane wave…
The displacement- and frequency-noise-free interferometer (DFI) is a multiple laser interferometer array for gravitational wave detection free from both the displacement noise of optics and laser frequency noise. So far, partial…
X-ray diffraction gratings play an essential role in high-resolution spectroscopy of astrophysical phenomena. We present some scientific highlights from the X-ray grating spectrometers (XGS) on board of the Chandra and XMM/Newton missions,…
Diffraction gratings disperse light in a rainbow of colors with the opposite order than refractive prisms, a phenomenon known as negative dispersion. While refractive dispersion can be controlled via material refractive index, diffractive…
Rapidly rotating neutron stars are promising sources of continuous gravitational wave radiation for the LIGO and Virgo interferometers. The majority of neutron stars in our galaxy have not been identified with electromagnetic observations.…
Reduction of coating thermal noise is a key issue in precise measurements with an optical interferometer. A good example of such a measurement device is a gravitational-wave detector, where each mirror is coated by a few tens of…
Magnetar vibrational modes are theorized to be associated with energetic X-ray flares. Regular searches for gravitational waves from these modes have been performed by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo, with no detections so far. Presently,…
We present a theoretical study of a spectral filter, which consists of a diffraction grating, a coupling lens, and an optical fiber. As the diffracted beam is highly dispersed spatially, coupling into an optical fiber naturally creates a…
