Fiber induced optical phase noise mitigation and cancellation
In this frame, in the optics lab of EGO, the student will build an optical set-up (interferometer) able to measure the optical phase noise, artificially inject…
Characterization and mitigation of vibration and
magnetic noise sources for the Virgo GW detector
The study of these sources proceeds through some steps. First, noise of the source is characterized by measuring its propagation through arrays of…
Assembly of Optical components of an EPR
tabletop for broadband Quantum Noise reduction
During this internship, the student will participate to the installation and will be in charge to align and test the optical elements that will be installed on the bench.
