advligorts: The Advanced LIGO Real-Time Digital Control and Data Acquisition System
read the original abstract
The Advanced LIGO detectors are sophisticated opto-mechanical devices. At the core of their operation is feedback control. The Advanced LIGO project developed a custom digital control and data acquisition system to handle the unique needs of this new breed of astronomical detector. The advligorts is the software component of this system. This highly modular and extensible system has enabled the unprecedented performance of the LIGO instruments, and has been a vital component in the direct detection of gravitational waves.

True and apparent motion of optomechanical resonators, with applications to feedback cooling of gravitational wave detector test masses
Extends prior two-photon formalism to compute true motion and optimal cooling in multi-DOF GW detector test masses, finding sub-unity occupation numbers possible over the oscillator bandwidth for common definitions.
