Description

Future interferometric gravitational-wave detectors are predicted to be impacted by low-frequency relative displacement motion between their seismic isolation platforms. We will present the advantages, sensitivity targets and latest prototype developments towards a digitally-enhanced interferometric sensor for measuring this motion.
