APPLICATIONS OF LASERS AND OTHER TOPICS IN QUANTUM ELECTRONICS: Sensitivity of a laser gravitational antenna with a phase-conjugating mirror

Abstract

A calculation is made of the threshold sensitivity of a laser-interferometric antenna with a phase-conjugating resonator. The use of such a resonator for compensation of technical fluctuations of the signal laser is limited by the stability of the frequency of the reference waves pumping a nonlinear mirror. Recommendations relating to engineering design of an antenna with parallel arms are given.
