In our previous research, simulation showed that a quantum locking scheme with homodyne detection in sub-cavities is effective in surpassing the quantum noise limit for Deci-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO) in a limited frequency range. This time we have simulated an optical spring effect in the sub-cavities of the quantum locking scheme. We found that the optimized total quantum noise is reduced in a broader frequency band, compared to the case without the optical spring effect significantly improving the sensitivity of DECIGO to the primordial gravitational waves.

Currently planned second-generation gravitational-wave laser interferometers such as Advanced LIGO exploit the extensively investigated signal-recycling (SR) technique. Candidate Advanced LIGO configurations are usually designed to have two resonance
s within the detection band, around which the sensitivity is enhanced: a stable optical resonance and an unstable optomechanical resonance - which is upshifted from the pendulum frequency due to the so-called optical-spring effect. Alternative to a feedback control system, we propose an all-optical stabilization scheme, in which a second optical spring is employed, and the test mass is trapped by a stable ponderomotive potential well induced by two carrier light fields whose detunings have opposite signs. The double optical spring also brings additional flexibility in re-shaping the noise spectral density and optimizing toward specific gravitational-wave sources. The presented scheme can be extended easily to a multi-optical-spring system that allows further optimization.
The quantum locking technique, which uses additional short low-loss sub-cavities, is effective in reducing quantum noise in space gravitational wave antenna DECIGO. However, the quantum noise of the main interferometer depends on the control systems
in the sub-cavities. Here we demonstrate a new method to optimize the quantum noise independently of the feedback gain by completing the square in the quantum locking system. We successfully demonstrate in simulations that this method is effective in optimizing the homodyne angle to the best quantum-noise-limited sensitivity.
Spring-antispring systems have been investigated as possible low-frequency seismic isolation in high-precision optical experiments. These systems provide the possibility to tune the fundamental resonance frequency to, in principle, arbitrarily low va
lues, and at the same time maintain a compact design of the isolation system. It was argued though that thermal noise in spring-antispring systems would not be as small as one may naively expect from lowering the fundamental resonance frequency. In this paper, we present a detailed calculation of the suspension thermal noise for a specific spring-antispring system, namely the Roberts linkage. We find a concise expression of the suspension thermal noise spectrum, which assumes a form very similar to the well-known expression for a simple pendulum. It is found that while the Roberts linkage can provide strong seismic isolation due to a very low fundamental resonance frequency, its thermal noise is rather determined by the dimension of the system. We argue that this is true for all horizontal mechanical isolation systems with spring-antispring dynamics. This imposes strict requirements on mechanical spring-antispring systems for the seismic isolation in potential future low-frequency gravitational-wave detectors as we discuss for the four main concepts: atom-interferometric, superconducting, torsion-bars, and conventional laser interferometer.
Quantum fluctuation of light limits the sensitivity of advanced laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. It is one of the principal obstacles on the way towards the next-generation gravitational-wave observatories. The envisioned significa
nt improvement of the detector sensitivity requires using quantum non-demolition measurement and back-action evasion techniques, which allow us to circumvent the sensitivity limit imposed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. In our previous review article: Quantum measurement theory in gravitational-wave detectors [Living Rev. Relativity 15, 5 (2012)], we laid down the basic principles of quantum measurement theory and provided the framework for analysing the quantum noise of interferometers. The scope of this paper is to review novel techniques for quantum noise suppression proposed in the recent years and put them in the same framework. Our delineation of interferometry schemes and topologies is intended as an aid in the process of selecting the design for the next-generation gravitational-wave observatories.
Terrestrial gravity noise, also known as Newtonian noise, produced by ambient seismic and infrasound fields will pose one of the main sensitivity limitations in low-frequency, ground-based, gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. It was estimated that thi
s noise foreground needs to be suppressed by about 3 -- 5 orders of magnitude in the frequency band 10,mHz to 1,Hz, which will be extremely challenging. In this article, we present a new approach that greatly facilitates cancellation of gravity noise in full-tensor GW detectors. The method uses optimal combinations of tensor channels and environmental sensors such as seismometers and microphones to reduce gravity noise. It makes explicit use of the direction of propagation of a GW, and can therefore either be implemented in directional searches for GWs or in observations of known sources. We show that suppression of the Newtonian-noise foreground is greatly facilitated using the extra strain channels in full-tensor GW detectors. Only a modest number of auxiliary, high-sensitivity environmental sensors are required to achieve noise suppression by a few orders of magnitude.
