After decades of research, physicists now know how to detect
Einstein's gravitational waves. Advanced gravitational wave
detectors, the most sensitive instruments ever created, will be
almost certain of detecting the births of black holes throughout
the Universe. This book describes the physics of gravitational
waves and their detectors. The book begins by introducing the
physics of gravitational wave detection and the likely sources of
detectable waves. Case studies on the first generation of large
scale gravitational wave detectors introduce the technology and set
the scene for a review of the experimental issues in creating
advanced detectors in which the instrument's sensitivity is limited
by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The book covers lasers,
thermal noise, vibration isolation, interferometer control and
stabilisation against opto-acoustic instabilities. This is a
valuable reference for graduate students and researchers in physics
and astrophysics entering this field.
