  1. 7. Optical configuration
    Antonio Perreca
    22/05/2026, 09:00

    These lectures will explore the optical design of gravitational wave (GW) detectors, starting from fundamental interferometric principles and moving toward the specific challenges of the Einstein Telescope (ET).
    We will first review the fundamental building blocks of GW detectors, incrementally discussing the Michelson interferometer, the introduction of Fabry-Perot arm cavities, and the...
