Abstract

We summarise the scientific and technological aspects of the SAGAS (Search for Anomalous Gravitation using Atomic Sensors) project, submitted to ESA in June 2007 in response to the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 call for proposals. The proposed mission aims at flying highly sensitive atomic sensors (optical clock, cold atom accelerometer, optical link) on a Solar System escape trajectory in the 2020 to 2030 time-frame. SAGAS has numerous science objectives in fundamental physics and Solar System science, for example numerous tests of general relativity and the exploration of the Kuiper belt. The combination of highly sensitive atomic sensors and of the laser link well adapted for large distances will allow measurements with unprecedented accuracy and on scales never reached before. We present the proposed mission in some detail, with particular emphasis on the science goals and associated measurements., Comment: 39 pages. Submitted in abridged version to Experimental Astronomy

2. A comparison between matter wave and light wave interferometers for the detection of gravitational waves

Author

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

We calculate and compare the response of light wave interferometers and matter wave interferometers to gravitational waves. We find that metric matter wave interferometers will not challenge kilometric light wave interferometers such as Virgo or LIGO, but could be a good candidate for the detection of very low frequency gravitational waves.

3. The 'Forgotten' Process : the emission stimulated by matter waves

Author

Tourrenc, Philippe, Angonin, Marie-Christine, and Wolf, Peter

Subjects
Quantum Physics
Abstract

In a famous paper where he introduces the A and B coefficients, Einstein considered that atomic decays of excited atoms can be stimulated by light waves. Here we consider that atomic decays can also be stimulated by atomic waves. It is however necessary to change the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics of thermal equilibrium into Bose-Einstein statistics and to introduce a coefficient C which complements the list of the coefficients introduced by Einstein. Stimulated emission of light can be considered as the first step towards the laser. Similarly, stimulated production of matter waves can be considered as the basic phenomenon for an atom-laser. Most of the results that we obtain here are not new. However, the method that we use remains very close to elementary classical physics and emphasizes the symmetry between electromagnetic and matter waves from various points of view., Comment: submitted in European Journal of Physics

4. Tidal gravitational effects in a satellite

Author

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
Abstract

Atomic wave interferometers are tied to a telescope pointing towards a faraway star in a nearly free falling satellite. Such a device is sensitive to the acceleration and the rotation relatively to the local inertial frame and to the tidal gravitational effects too. We calculate the rotation of the telescope due to the aberration and the deflection of the light in the gravitational field of a central mass (the Earth and Jupiter). Within the framework of a general parametrized description of the problem, we discuss the contributions which must be taken into account in order to observe the Lense-Thirring effect. Using a geometrical model, we consider some perturbations to the idealized device and we calculate the corresponding effect on the periodic components of the signal. Some improvements in the knowledge of the gravitational field are still necessary as well as an increase of the experimental capabilities; however our conclusions support a reasonable optimism for the future. Finally we put forward the necessity of a more complete, realistic and powerful model in order to obtain a definitive conclusion on the feasibility of the experiment as far as the observation of the Lense-Thirring effect is involved., Comment: accepted to General Relativity and Gravitation

5. Increase of the Number of Detectable Gravitational Waves Signals due to Gravitational Lensing

Author

Subjects
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology, Astrophysics
Abstract

This article deals with the gravitational lensing (GL) of gravitational waves (GW). We compute the increase in the number of detected GW events due to GL. First, we check that geometrical optics is valid for the GW frequency range on which Earth-based detectors are sensitive, and that this is also partially true for what concerns the future space-based interferometer LISA. To infer this result, both the diffraction parameter and a cut-off frequency are computed. Then, the variation in the number of GW signals is estimated in the general case, and applied to some lens models: point mass lens and singular isothermal sphere (SIS profile). An estimation of the magnification factor has also been done for the softened isothermal sphere and for the King profile. The results appear to be strongly model-dependent, but in all cases the increase in the number of detected GW signals is negligible. The use of time delays among images is also investigated., Comment: Accepted for publication in General Relativity and Gravitation

6. Gravitational perturbations on local experiments in a satellite : The dragging of inertial frame in the HYPER project

Abstract

We consider a nearly free falling Earth satellite where atomic wave interferometers are tied to a telescope pointing towards a faraway star. They measure the acceleration and the rotation relatively to the local inertial frame. We calculate the rotation of the telescope due to the aberrations and the deflection of the light in the gravitational field of the Earth. We show that the deflection due to the quadrupolar momentum of the gravity is not negligible if one wants to observe the Lense-Thirring effect of the Earth. We consider some perturbation to the ideal device and we discuss the orders of magnitude of the phase shifts due to the residual tidal gravitational field in the satellite and we exhibit the terms which must be taken into account to calculate and interpret the full signal. Within the framework of a geometric model, we calculate the various periodic components of the signal which must be analyzed to detect the Lense-Tirring effect. We discuss the results which support a reasonable optimism. As a conclusion we put forward the necessity of a more complete, realistic and powerful model in order to obtain a final conclusion on the theoretical feasibility of the experiment as far as the observation of the Lense-Thirring effect is involved., Comment: Accepted in GRG (vol 36, Feb 2004)

Abstract

During last years, data flow and data storage needs for large gravitational waves interferometric detectors have reached an order of magnitude similar to those of high energy physics experiments. Software tools have been developed to handle and analyze these large amounts of data, with the specificities associated to gravitational waves search. We will make a review of the experience acquired during engineering runs on the VIRGO detector with the currently used data analysis software tools, pointing out the peculiarities inherent to our type of experiments. We will also show what are the possible future needs for the offline analysis VIRGO data.

Abstract

The VIRGO superattenuator (SA) is effective in suppressing seismic noise below the expected thermal noise level above 4 Hz. However, the residual mirror motion associated with the SA normal modes can saturate the interferometer control system. This motion is reduced by implementing a wideband (DC–5 Hz) multidimensional active control (the so-called inertial damping) which makes use of both accelerometers and position sensors and of a digital signal processing (DSP) system. Feedback forces are exerted by coil–magnet actuators on the top of an inverted pendulum pre-isolator stage. The residual root mean square motion of the mirror in 10 s is less than 0.1 µm.

30. Tidal Gravitational Effects in a Satellite

Author

Tourrenc, Ph., Angonin, M.-C., and Ovido, X.

Abstract

Atomic wave interferometers are tied to a telescope pointing towards a faraway star in a nearly free falling satellite. Such a device is sensitive to the acceleration and the rotation relatively to the local inertial frame and to the tidal gravitational effects too. We calculate the rotation of the telescope due to the aberration and the deflection of the light in the gravitational field of a central mass (the Earth and Jupiter). Within the framework of a general parametrized description of the problem, we discuss the contributions which must be taken into account in order to observe the Lense-Thirring effect. Using a geometrical model, we consider some perturbations to the idealized device and we calculate the corresponding effect on the periodic components of the signal. Some improvements in the knowledge of the gravitational field are still necessary as well as an increase of the experimental capabilities; however our conclusions support a reasonable optimism for the future. Finally we put forward the necessity of a more complete, realistic and powerful model in order to obtain a definitive conclusion on the feasibility of the experiment as far as the observation of the Lense-Thirring effect is involved.

31. A preliminary discussion of Dulkyn interferometer

Author

Tourrenc, Ph. and Balakin, A. B.

Abstract

The Dulkyn interferometer in Kazan is an active ring laser where the light propagates along two different paths. It has been developed with the idea that it could detect low frequency gravitational waves on Earth. Considering Dulkyn as a detector of periodic strains of order of h~ 10−22at low frequencies (10−3Hz−10−5Hz) we calculate that 30 W is the order of magnitude of the optical power necessary to beat the photon noise in the case of a long observation time (T= 4 months) and a reasonable signal to noise ratio (r= 3). We estimate that the displacement noise of the mirrors must not exceed 5×10−19m/$\sqrt{{Hz}}$. Dulkyn is also sensitive to accelerations and rotations. The acceleration noise does not seem to be troublesome ($\widetilde{g}\lesssim 0.1{m} {s}^{-2}/\sqrt{{Hz}}$), but the angular velocity noise must be less than 5×10−11s−1/$\sqrt{{Hz}}$. The maximum strain (10−22) is obtained with free (pendulous) mirrors. Out of resonance, the strain is many orders of magnitude smaller when the mirrors are fixed on a rigid support. Such a case would rule out the possibility of a detection. As a conclusion we emphasize that the Dulkyn design does not bring any decisive improvement for the detection of low frequency gravitational waves on Earth.

Abstract

We summarise the scientific and technological aspects of the SAGAS (Search for Anomalous Gravitation using Atomic Sensors) project, submitted to ESA in June 2007 in response to the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 call for proposals. The proposed mission aims at flying highly sensitive atomic sensors (optical clock, cold atom accelerometer, optical link) on a Solar System escape trajectory in the 2020 to 2030 timeframe. SAGAS has numerous science objectives in fundamental physics and Solar System science, for example numerous tests of general relativity and the exploration of the Kuiper belt. The combination of highly sensitive atomic sensors and of the laser link well adapted for large distances will allow measurements with unprecedented accuracy and on scales never reached before. We present the proposed mission in some detail, with particular emphasis on the science goals and associated measurements., Physics

35. Simultaneous achievement of narrow pulse width and low pulse-to-pulse timing jitter in 1.3 μm passively mode-locked quantum-dot lasers

Author

Todaro, Maria Teresa, Tourrenc, Jean-Philippe, Hegarty, Stephen P., Kelleher, Carmel, Corbett, Brian, Huyet, Guillaume, and McInerney, John G.

Abstract

We have analyzed pulse width and timing jitter in passively mode-locked two-section InAs quantum-dot lasers emitting at 1310 nm and have identified two distinct, extensive mode-locked regions with robust short pulses and low timing jitter. A record combination of 2 ps pulses and 25 fs/cycle timing jitter (500 fs, 1-100 MHz), with 1 mW average output power per facet, is demonstrated.

Abstract

The status of advancement of the VIRGO Project is presented: the first-generation results from the Pisa seismic noise super attenuator give an upper limit to the noise transfer function of 2 × 10 −8 at 10 Hz. The upper limit to the absolute noise of the 400 kg test mass at 10 Hz has been measured to be 1.5 × 10 −13 m/√Hz. The scheme and the related problems of the VIRGO interferometer, which is supposed to work down to 10 Hz, are also presented. At the 3rd Pisa Meeting in 1986 we presented the idea of what could be a very efficient seismic noise reduction system able to give a sensitivity h ∼ 10 −25 at 10 Hz, in a 3 km interferometer for 1 year integration time. Now we have two new facts to present: the first is that the attenuation has been built, is working in Pisa, and shows remarkable characteristics. The second is the Italian-French interferometer VIRGO [1,2], a 3 km long antenna for low and high frequency (10–1000 Hz) gravitational wave (GW) detection. These two items will be presented in this article.
