A key action for enhancing the sensitivity of gravitational wave (GW) detectors based on laser interferometry is to increase the laser power. However, in such a high-power regime, a nonlinear optomechanical phenomenon called parametric instability (PI) leads to the amplification of the mirrors vibrational modes preventing the detector functioning. Thus this phenomenon limits the detectors maximum power and so its performances. Our group has started an experimental research program aiming at realizing a exible and active mitigation system, based on the radiation pressure applied by an auxiliary laser. A summary on the PI mitigation techniques will be presented, we will explain the working principle of the system that we are implementing and report about the first experimental results.
Parametric instability is an intrinsic risk in high power laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors, in which the optical cavity modes interact with the acoustic modes of the mirrors leading to exponential growth of the acoustic vibration. In
Parametric instabilities have long been studied as a potentially limiting effect in high-power interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Until now, however, these instabilities have never been observed in a kilometer-scale interferometer. In this
Three mode parametric instability has been predicted in Advanced gravitational wave detectors. Here we present the first observation of this phenomenon in a large scale suspended optical cavity designed to be comparable to those of advanced gravitati
Perturbative quantities, such as the growth rate ($f$) and index ($gamma$), are powerful tools to distinguish different dark energy models or modified gravity theories even if they produce the same cosmic expansion history. In this work, without any
We perform a detailed comparison between a recently proposed parameter-free velocity-dependent one-scale model and the standard parametric model for the cosmological evolution of domain wall networks. We find that the latter overestimates the damping
