Abstract
Axion dark matter differentiates the phase velocities of the circular-polarized photons. In this Letter, a scheme to measure the phase difference by using a linear optical cavity is proposed. If the scheme is applied to the Fabry-Pérot arm of Advanced-LIGO-like (Cosmic-Explorer-Like) gravitational wave detector, the potential sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling constant, gaγ, reaches gaγ≃8×10-13 GeV-1(4×10-14 GeV-1) at the axion mass m≃3×10-13 eV (2×10-15 eV) and remains at around this sensitivity for three orders of magnitude in mass. Furthermore, its sensitivity has a sharp peak reaching gaγ≃10-14 GeV-1(8×10-17 GeV-1) at m=1.563×10-10 eV (1.563×10-11 eV). This sensitivity can be achieved without losing any sensitivity to gravitational waves.

N1 - Funding Information: We developed the experimental scheme to search for axionlike dark matter with the optical linear cavity used in gravitational wave detectors. Our experiment measures the production of the linear polarization component opposite to the intrinsic polarization of the incident laser beam caused by the axion-photon coupling. The experimental sensitivity is in principle limited only by quantum shot noise, and other kind of technical disturbances are irrelevant. We estimated the potential sensitivity of detectors to the axion-photon coupling in a broad mass range 10 - 16 eV ≲ m ≲ 10 - 9 eV with the experimental parameters of existing gravitational wave detector projects, such as DECIGO, CE, and aLIGO. As a result, we found that their sensitivities can reach beyond the current limit of CAST [5] with a wide axion mass range and can be competitive with other experimental proposals that were recently suggested [25–27] . Remarkably, our new scheme for axionlike dark matter search can be performed with a minor modification of the gravitational wave detector and coexist with its observation run for gravitational waves. We expect that this scheme becomes a new approach to search for axion dark matter. In this work, K. N., Y. M., and T.

N2 - Axion dark matter differentiates the phase velocities of the circular-polarized photons. In this Letter, a scheme to measure the phase difference by using a linear optical cavity is proposed. If the scheme is applied to the Fabry-Pérot arm of Advanced-LIGO-like (Cosmic-Explorer-Like) gravitational wave detector, the potential sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling constant, gaγ, reaches gaγ≃8×10-13 GeV-1(4×10-14 GeV-1) at the axion mass m≃3×10-13 eV (2×10-15 eV) and remains at around this sensitivity for three orders of magnitude in mass. Furthermore, its sensitivity has a sharp peak reaching gaγ≃10-14 GeV-1(8×10-17 GeV-1) at m=1.563×10-10 eV (1.563×10-11 eV). This sensitivity can be achieved without losing any sensitivity to gravitational waves.
