Abstract: Persistence of COVID-19 symptoms in nonhospitalized individuals beyond a few months has not been well characterized. In this longitudinal study from the Faroe Islands, we present prevalence of long COVID in mainly nonhospitalized patients who were followed up for up to 8 months.All Faroese individuals with confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis from August to December 2020 were invited to participate in this study (n = 297). Demographic and clinical characteristics and self-reported symptoms were ascertained prospectively using a detailed questionnaire administered at repeated phone interviews.A total of 226 individuals participated at baseline (226/297, 76% participation rate), of whom 170 participants had more than 3 months follow-up. Of these, 39% (n = 67/170, 95% confidence interval [CI] 32-37%) reported persistent symptoms (median [range] 168 [93-231] days) after the acute phase and 8% (n = 14/170, 95% CI 5-13%) reported severe persistent symptoms. The most prevalent symptoms were fatigue (17%) and smell (17%) and taste (14%) dysfunction. Long COVID was more common in people reporting daily medication use (odds ratio 2.34, 95% CI 1.02-5.37).Our results show that symptoms may take months to resolve, even among nonhospitalized individuals, with a mild illness in the acute phase. Continued monitoring for long COVID is needed to evaluate the added risk of a potential public health concern.

Subjects: Infectious Diseases, Oncology
Abstract: Symptoms of long coronavirus disease (COVID) were found in 38% of 170 patients followed for a median of 22.6 months. The most prevalent symptoms were fatigue, affected taste and smell, and difficulties remembering and concentrating. Predictors for long COVID were older age and number of symptoms in the acute phase. Long COVID may take many months, maybe years, to resolve.

Abstract: Within the European Space Agency (ESA) activity “Gravitational Wave Observatory Metrology Laser” we designed a laser head to fulfill the LISA laser requirements using a non-NPRO seed laser technology: an external cavity diode laser (ECDL) with resonant optical feedback from an external cavity as master oscillator for further linewidth narrowing. Furthermore, our design features a single-stage fiber amplifier with an amplification factor of about 20 dB. This paper covers the requirements on the laser source for LISA, the design and first results of performance characterization of the laser head breadboard.

Abstract: The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), with its extreme distance measurement requirements (pm over arm lengths of 2.5 million km), imposes many stringent requirements on the laser systems used for the distance metrological measurements. In particular, frequency and power stability, sideband phase noise, and frequency reproducibility, the need of manufacturing multiple laser systems and extremely challenging lifetime (extended mission duration of 12.5 years) which demand a streamlined laser design and a particular attention to reliability and procurement strategy, all pose a significant challenge. The main requirements will be presented and analysed. Some preliminary strategies as it pertains to procurement and lot screening shall also be approached. The current configuration and break-down of the future on-board laser systems shall be provided detailing in particular the critical interfaces. Existing space heritage hardware (such as the LISA Pathfinder Master Oscillator) and new specialized developments are under study in both Europe and the US. European industry is developing custom Power Amplifiers to reach the end-of-life requirement of 2W (in Continuous Wave operation). In parallel alterative possible sources for a back-up Master Oscillator are also being investigated, based on off the shelf components and proprietary technologies. An overview of the development strategy shall be presented as well as some details on the specific hardware.

Abstract: The Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI) instrument on the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) Follow-On mission has provided the first laser interferometric range measurements between remote spacecraft, separated by approximately 220 km. Autonomous controls that lock the laser frequency to a cavity reference and establish the 5 degrees of freedom two-way laser link between remote spacecraft succeeded on the first attempt. Active beam pointing based on differential wave front sensing compensates spacecraft attitude fluctuations. The LRI has operated continuously without breaks in phase tracking for more than 50 days, and has shown biased range measurements similar to the primary ranging instrument based on microwaves, but with much less noise at a level of 1 nm/Hz at Fourier frequencies above 100 mHz. © 2019 authors.

Abstract: For studies of the European Space Agency ESA, Fraunhofer ILT develops and builds narrowband, power-stabilized fundamental mode fiber amplifiers especially for future space-based gravitational-wave detectors, e.g. LISA, and for Earth gravity field missions. In this paper, we present the status of our ongoing work, based on a highly stable fiber amplifier designed for a Next Generation Gravity field Mission (NGGM) pre-study, towards power scaling as well as enhancement of the Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Our amplifier has already demonstrated to meet the requirements for future gravity field missions. It features a design that is free of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and a feedback loop for power stabilization.

Abstract: The AEI 10 m prototype interferometer facility is currently being constructed at the Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, Germany. It aims to perform experiments for future gravitational wave detectors using advanced techniques. Seismically isolated benches are planned to be interferometrically interconnected and stabilized, forming a low-noise testbed inside a 100 m3 ultra-high vacuum system. A well-stabilized high-power laser will perform differential position readout of 100 g test masses in a 10 m suspended arm-cavity enhanced Michelson interferometer at the crossover of measurement (shot) noise and back-action (quantum radiation pressure) noise, the so-called Standard Quantum Limit (SQL). Such a sensitivity enables experiments in the highly topical field of macroscopic quantum mechanics. In this article we introduce the experimental facility and describe the methods employed; technical details of subsystems will be covered in future papers.

Abstract: Several absorption and dispersion spectra of a probe and a coupling laser of different polarisations generating electromagnetically induced absorption in atomic caesium were measured and compared. In the case of at least one linearly polarised laser, electromagnetically induced absorption and absorption within transparency were observed for the probe and coupling laser, respectively. For laser beams of counter-rotating circular polarisation the coupling absorption spectra changed from absorption within transparency to transparency within transparency once the medium was saturated. However, the corresponding parametric dispersion spectra remained unchanged in structure.

Abstract: Quantum cascade lasers can be designed to emit at any desired wavelength in the mid-infrared. When the optical output power of a single quantum cascade laser is too low, the beams of different lasers can be combined, e.g. by incoherent aperture beam combining. For incoherent aperture beam combining the laser beams are arranged side by side on the aperture of the (multi-) laser system and combine in the far field. The technique is neither limited to any number of lasers nor to any laser characteristics. We investigated incoherent aperture beam combining of quantum cascade laser beams in experiment and simulations at different distances from the laser aperture. We present results of combining laser sources of different wavelengths and demonstrate advantages of various beam arrangements.

Abstract: Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughout the history of the universe that is unavailable through standard electromagnetic observations, making its study of fundamental importance to understanding the evolution of the universe. We carry out a search for the stochastic background with the latest data from LIGO and Virgo. Consistent with predictions from most stochastic gravitational-wave background models, the data display no evidence of a stochastic gravitational-wave signal. Assuming a gravitational-wave spectrum of Omega_GW(f)=Omega_alpha*(f/f_ref)^alpha, we place 95% confidence level upper limits on the energy density of the background in each of four frequency bands spanning 41.5-1726 Hz. In the frequency band of 41.5-169.25 Hz for a spectral index of alpha=0, we constrain the energy density of the stochastic background to be Omega_GW(f), 11 pages, 2 figures, 1 table

Abstract: Cosmic strings can give rise to a large variety of interesting astrophysical phenomena. Among them, powerful bursts of gravitational waves (GWs) produced by cusps are a promising observational signature. In this Letter we present a search for GWs from cosmic string cusps in data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors between 2005 and 2010, with over 625 days of live time. We find no evidence of GW signals from cosmic strings. From this result, we derive new constraints on cosmic string parameters, which complement and improve existing limits from previous searches for a stochastic background of GWs from cosmic microwave background measurements and pulsar timing data. In particular, if the size of loops is given by the gravitational backreaction scale, we place upper limits on the string tension Gμ below 10(-8) in some regions of the cosmic string parameter space. ispartof: PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS vol:112 issue:13 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract: Nearly a century after Einstein first predicted the existence of gravitational waves, a global network of Earth-based gravitational wave observatories1,2,3,4 is seeking to directly detect this faint radiation using precision laser interferometry. Photon shot noise, due to the quantum nature of light, imposes a fundamental limit on the attometre-level sensitivity of the kilometre-scale Michelson interferometers deployed for this task. Here, we inject squeezed states to improve the performance of one of the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) beyond the quantum noise limit, most notably in the frequency region down to 150 Hz, critically important for several astrophysical sources, with no deterioration of performance observed at any frequency. With the injection of squeezed states, this LIGO detector demonstrated the best broadband sensitivity to gravitational waves ever achieved, with important implications for observing the gravitational-wave Universe with unprecedented sensitivity Fil: Aasi, J..

Abstract: This paper presents results of an all-sky searches for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency range [50, 1190] Hz and with frequency derivative ranges of [-2 x 10^-9, 1.1 x 10^-10] Hz/s for the fifth LIGO science run (S5). The novelty of the search lies in the use of a non-coherent technique based on the Hough-transform to combine the information from coherent searches on timescales of about one day. Because these searches are very computationally intensive, they have been deployed on the Einstein@Home distributed computing project infrastructure. The search presented here is about a factor 3 more sensitive than the previous Einstein@Home search in early S5 LIGO data. The post-processing has left us with eight surviving candidates. We show that deeper follow-up studies rule each of them out. Hence, since no statistically significant gravitational wave signals have been detected, we report upper limits on the intrinsic gravitational wave amplitude h0. For example, in the 0.5 Hz-wide band at 152.5 Hz, we can exclude the presence of signals with h0 greater than 7.6 x 10^-25 with a 90% confidence level., 29 pages, 14 figures, 6 tables.

Abstract: Around the globe several observatories are seeking the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs). These waves are predicted by Einstein''s general theory of relativity(1) and are generated, for example, by black-hole binary systems(2). Present GW detectors are Michelson-type kilometre-scale laser interferometers measuring the distance changes between mirrors suspended in vacuum. The sensitivity of these detectors at frequencies above several hundred hertz is limited by the vacuum (zero-point) fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. A quantum technology-the injection of squeezed light(3)-offers a solution to this problem. Here we demonstrate the squeezed-light enhancement of GEO 600, which will be the GW observatory operated by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration in its search for GWs for the next 3-4 years. GEO 600 now operates with its best ever sensitivity, which proves the usefulness of quantum entanglement and the qualification of squeezed light as a key technology for future GW astronomy(4).

Abstract: The absorption of a resonant coupling laser driving a closed degenerate two-level system in an atomic cesium beam was investigated as a function of the detuning of a second laser probing the same transition. The measurements were performed for four different polarization combinations of the two laser beams. Except for the beams of counterrotating polarizations all coupling-laser absorption profiles showed “absorption within transparency,” i.e., the absorption in the region around the two-photon resonance was smaller than the absorption corresponding to the one-photon transition induced by the coupling laser, and an extra absorption peak was observed on this curve at the two-photon resonance. With regard to the beams of counterrotating polarizations we observed a switch from absorption within transparency to “transparency within transparency” when the probe-laser power exceeded the constant coupling-laser power. In other words, the cesium ensemble became mostly transparent to the coupling-laser beam at the two-photon resonance.

Abstract: After the discovery of electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA), both theoretical and experimental research was performed to explain not only the probe laser absorption and dispersion spectra, but also those of the coupling laser. The investigations of EIA in degenerate two-level systems have often been realized using two linearly polarized lasers of orthogonal polarization [1]. However, the simplest configuration leading to EIA is the so-called N-system [2] which basically requires the simultaneous adoption of a circularly polarized coupling laser and a linearly polarized probe (here called σ−π). To our knowledge, no experimental measurements of the coupling laser exist in the configurations (σ+−σ−, π−σ− or σ+−π).

22. Experimental Evidence of Spontaneous Transfer of Coherence in a Driven Degenerate Two-level System under the Action of a Linearly or a Circularly Polarized Probe

Abstract: Electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) in a degenerate closed transition was measured under the action of a probe and a coupling laser of various polarizations giving rise to different possible N-systems or multi-level systems. While the probe shows EIA the coupling is mainly characterized by “absorption within transparency”. However, for certain lasers' intensity ranges, a switch between “absorption within transparency” and “transparency within transparency” in the coupling absorption spectra was measured for the first time.

23. Exploration of electromagnetically induced absorption with circular polarised lasers in a degenerate two-level system

Abstract: The authors presented the corresponding measurements obtained with a modified version of our heterodyne interferometer. The measurement were obtained in the 6s 2S1/2 F=4 rarr 6p 2P3/2 F=5 transition of the caesium D2 line. As it is the case for double linear polarisation the probe absorption signals showed electromagnetically induced absorption. However, the amplitude of the induced absorption peak over the broader regular absorption signal resulted much lower than the measured one for the double linear case. This may be due to the fact that in the double circular case no compact N subsystems can be easily built between the sublevels. The resulting spectra are therefore similar to those measured in open two-level systems.

Abstract: At present a 10\,m prototype interferometer facility is being set up at the AEI Hannover. One unique feature of the prototype will be the suspension platform interferometer (SPI). The purpose of the SPI is to monitor and stabilise the relative motion between three seismically isolated optical tables. The in-vacuum tables are suspended in an L-shaped configuration with an arm length of 11.65\,m. The design goal of the SPI is to stabilise longitudinal differential displacements to a level of 100\,pm/$\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$ between 10\,mHz and 100\,Hz and relative angular noise of 10\,nrad/$\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$ in the same frequency band. This paper covers the design aspects of the SPI, e.g. cross-coupling between the different degrees of freedom and fibre pointing noise are investigated. A simulation is presented which shows that with the chosen optical design of the SPI all degrees of table motion can be sensed in a fully decoupled way. Furthermore, a proof of principle test of the SPI sensing scheme is shown., Comment: 12 pages, 6 figures

Abstract: Currently, the AEI 10m Prototype is being set up at the Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, Germany. The Suspension Platform Interferometer (SPI) will be an additional interferometer set up inside the vacuum envelope of the AEI 10m Prototype. It will interferometrically link the three suspended in-vacuum tables. The inter-table distance will be 11.65 m. The SPI will measure and stabilise the relative motions between these tables for all degrees of freedom, except roll around the optical axis. In this way, all tables can be regarded as one large platform. The design goal is 100 pm/ root Hz differential distance stability between 10 mHz and 100 Hz.

Abstract: We report a search for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of binary black holes (BBH) with total mass between 25 and 100 solar masses, in data taken at the LIGO and Virgo observatories between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. The maximum sensitive distance of the detectors over this period for a (20,20) Msun coalescence was 300 Mpc. No gravitational wave signals were found. We thus report upper limits on the astrophysical coalescence rates of BBH as a function of the component masses for non-spinning components, and also evaluate the dependence of the search sensitivity on component spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum. We find an upper limit at 90% confidence on the coalescence rate of BBH with non-spinning components of mass between 19 and 28 Msun of 3.3 \times 10^-7 mergers /Mpc^3 /yr., Comment: 15 pages PDFLaTeX, minor changes to correspond with published version.
