Patterned thin films that are freely suspended from a silicon chip (i.e., membranes) are some of the lowest-loss mechanical oscillators.

As such, they provide an exceptional level of isolation from the noisy environment, similar to what has been achieved with levitated nanoparticles.

Here, I will present a concept for a HFGW detector, which corresponds to a Michelson interferometer with...

9. Sensing High Frequency Gravitational Waves with Acoustic Resonators: an update on the MAGE experiment

The Multimode Acoustic Gravitational wave Experiment (MAGE) is a high frequency gravitational wave detection experiment [1] that utilises quartz bulk acoustic wave resonators as precision strain sensors. In its first stage, the experiment features two near-identical quartz bulk acoustic wave resonators that act as strain antennas with spectral sensitivity as low as $6.6\times...
