Abstract

We are developing a detector with two laser interferometers for gravitational waves at 100 MHz. Each interferometer is a Sagnac interferometer with a 75-cm baseline synchronous recycling (or resonant recycling) cavity. Two such interferometers are constructed to perform cross-correlation analysis. The original signals at around 100 MHz are converted into electrical signals at lower frequencies before we collect the data. The output noise of each interferometer is measured to correspond to less than 1×10-16 Hz-1/2 in strain amplitude at around 100 MHz.
