Noise factor and reception bandwidth in optoacoustical GW antenna

Abstract

An expression has extracted from the OGRAN project theory, which provides connection between numerical values of noise factor F and achieved displacement resolution and antenna’s threshold signal in metric variations. Noise factor and “reception bandwidth” connects across displacement resolution. There is defined analytical expression and numerical value for design displacement resolution (sensitivity) on the base intention F = 1. It has appeared that the extracted analytical expression for readout resolution does not correspond to applied Pound-Drever-Hall technique and AURIGA circuitry. This requires an improvement in theoretical design. The achieved resolution value 2·10−15 cm/Hz1/2 is matched to the value for metric sensitivity in pulse hmin ≃ 10−18, which is 15 dB higher than the thermal sensitivity limit.
