Photon Calibration of the LIGO Interferometers
Abstract
A calibration scheme for the LIGO interferometers using photon pressure from a laser beam to displace the suspended optics is planned for installation on initial LIGO. I will discuss the design concept, and uncertainties limiting the accuracy of this calibration method.
