Instrumentation and Technology for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA)
Abstract
This poster discusses the present status of the technology and instrumentation for the joint ESA/NASA gravitational wave detector, LISA, focusing on a description of the main payload items, such as: (1) the interferometric measurement system, comprising the optical system, which includes the optical bench and the telescope, the laser system, and the phase measurement system; and, (2) the disturbance reduction system, including the gravitational reference sensor, the charge control system, and the micro-propulsion system.
