The ConceptVariations of the transducer cavity length are measured by the stabilized laser
Transducer cavity: a Fabry-Perot cavity between the bar and the resonant plate
Reference cavity: a stable Fabry-Perot cavity acting as length reference
Laser source frequency locked to the reference cavity
Optical TransducerStatus: Room temperature test
Achieved gw sensitivity
Experimental set-up
L.Conti et al,. Jour. Appl. Phys. 93 (2003) 3589
Optical TransducerStatus: Cryogenics
Q measurements in the Transducer Test Facility
