摘要

本文提出了一种对天基引力波探测器光学平台的简单改进，使其能够测量由轴子暗物质通过其与电磁的耦合而引起的光的真空双折射。具体地说，我们建议用圆偏振器来改变半波片。虽然对GW的灵敏度影响很小，但我们表明，这种调整将使LISA、天琴、太极和大爆炸观测者等未来的探测器成为低轴子质量下最敏感的实验。

Probing the axion–photon coupling with space-based gravitational wave detectors

We propose a simple modification of space-based gravitational wave (GW) detector optical benches which would enable the measurement of vacuum birefringence of light induced by axion dark matter through its coupling to electromagnetism. Specifically, we propose to change a half-wave plate by a circular polarizer. While marginally affecting the sensitivity to GW by a factor , we show that such an adjustment would make future detectors such as LISA, TianQin, Taiji and Big-Bang Observer the most sensitive experiments at low axion masses.
