Advanced Virgo end benches were a significant source of scattered light noise during the third observing run that lasted from April 1 2019 until March 27 2020. We describe how that noise could be subtracted using auxiliary channels during the online strain data reconstruction. We model in detail the scattered light noise coupling and demonstrate that further noise subtraction can be achieved. We also show that the fitted model parameters can be used to optically characterized the interferometer and in particular provide a novel way of establishing an absolute calibration of the detector strain data.

  1. Optomechanical transfer factors for scattered light noise estimations in the beamtubes of ground-based gravitational wave detectors

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scattered-light noise coupling to strain readout is derived as full optomechanical transfer factors, recovering legacy models only in phase-dominated regimes and substantially revising Einstein Telescope low-frequency...

  2. New modeling of the stray light noise in the main arms of the Einstein Telescope

    physics.ins-det 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Stray light noise in Einstein Telescope arms is predicted to stay below the safety margin in ideal conditions, but beam offsets above 4 to 7 cm, tilts above 8 microradians, or strong point absorbers could breach it.
