Demonstration of a next-generation wavefront actuator for gravitational-wave detection
A full-scale FROSTI prototype, using nonimaging reflectors to project infrared heat onto a 40-kg LIGO mirror, produced the intended higher-order wavefront deformation with noise levels projected to meet LIGO A+ requirements.
