Until this breakthrough, laser interferometry had been the poor cousin to bars in the gravity wave game. |
Optical interferometry is a technique that splits a laser beam into two beams by using a partially silvered mirror. |
Since the field of gravity wave interferometry is still so new, the researchers involved come from diverse backgrounds. |
Recently, work on the constant current source and the interferometry has begun. |
A first study concerned the possibility of detecting gravitational waves using a space-borne gyroscope based on atom interferometry. |
Also the radar interferometry allows to discern soil distortions and to establish a useful mapping. |
