An aim of J-GEM (Japanese collaboration for Gravitational-wave Electro-Magnetic follow-up) is to identify and follow-up a gravitational-wave (GW) electromagnetic (EM ) counterpart in optical and near-infrared wavelengths. J-GEM is constructed by 12 Japanese optical and/or near-infrared telescopes located on different longitudes. The EM counterpart of GW170817 which is a neutron star-neutron...
Near-unstable cavities have been proposed as an enabling technology for future gravitational wave detectors, as their compact structure and large beam spot can reduce the thermal noise floor of the interferometer. These cavities operate close to the edge of geometrical stability, and may be driven into instability via small cavity length perturbations or mirror surface distortions. They are at...
