The first detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave
Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 launched the era of gravitational wave astronomy. The quest for
gravitational wave signals from objects that are fainter or farther away impels technological advances
to realize ever more sensitive detectors. Since 2019, one advanced technique, the injection of squeezed
states of light is being used to improve the shot noise limit to the sensitivity of the Advanced LIGO
detectors, at frequencies above ∼ 50 Hz. Below this frequency, quantum back action, in the form of
radiation pressure induced motion of the mirrors, degrades the sensitivity. To simultaneously reduce
shot noise at high frequencies and quantum radiation pressure noise at low frequencies requires a
quantum noise filter cavity with low optical losses to rotate the squeezed quadrature as a function of
frequency. We report on the observation of frequency-dependent squeezed quadrature rotation with
rotation frequency of 30 Hz, using a 16 m long filter cavity. A novel control scheme is developed for
this frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum source, and the results presented here demonstrate that
a low-loss filter cavity can achieve the squeezed quadrature rotation necessary for the next planned
upgrade to Advanced LIGO, known as “A+.”
I. INTRODUCTION
Quantum noise imposes a fundamental limitation
on the precision of physical measurements. In
gravitational-wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO [1],
it manifests in two ways: shot noise, caused by quantum
fluctuations in the arrival time of photons detected
at the interferometer output; and quantum radiation
pressure noise (QRPN), due to quantum fluctuations in
the photon flux impinging on the interferometer mirrors.
Both noises have a common origin—electromagnetic
vacuum states entering the open output port of the
interferometer [2].
During its third observing run, Advanced LIGO has
been detecting roughly one astrophysical event per week,
compared to one per month in previous observing runs.
A significant factor in the sensitivity improvements that
has enabled this increased detection rate is the injection
of squeezed states of light into the output port of the
Advanced LIGO detectors [3]. Squeezed state injection—
or simply “squeezing”—has also been used in the
Advanced Virgo and GEO detectors [4, 5]. The squeezed
states used redistribute quantum uncertainty to have a
minimum in the phase quadrature, thus reducing shot
noise that dominates above ∼ 50 Hz. As a consequence of
the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the increased noise
in the amplitude quadrature degrades the sensitivity of
the interferometer at lower frequencies due to radiation
pressure that drives motion of the 40 kg mirrors of
the interferometer. This quantum radiation pressure

noise has been observed in the Advanced LIGO [6] and
Virgo [7] detectors under current operating conditions,
and limits the level of squeezing which can be profitably
used.
To avoid degradation in the low frequency sensitivity
due to the quantum radiation pressure noise that results
from higher levels of squeezing and/or increased laser
power in the interferometers, a technique known as
“frequency-dependent squeezing” [8, 9] is required [10,
11]. In this work, we present a measurement of
frequency-dependent squeezing from a system scalable
to Advanced LIGO’s upcoming A+ upgrade. To achieve
this, an optical cavity with low optical losses realized
a squeezing rotation frequency nearly two orders of
magnitude lower than the previous demonstration [12].
We also introduce a novel optical sensing scheme that
allows for controlling the squeezed vacuum source to
meet the stringent requirements of the Advanced LIGO
detectors [13]. The importance of frequency-dependent
squeezing for gravitational-wave detection cannot be
overstated. A+ is the only planned upgrade for Advanced
LIGO in the foreseeable future, and frequency-dependent
squeezing the only technology mature enough to provide
broadband improvement in sensitivity.
Concurrent with, and independent of, this work, a
similar experiment was carried out in Japan with a
300 m filter cavity, which demonstrates sub-shot-noise
performance below the squeezed state rotation frequency
[14].

FIG. 1. Schematic overview of the optical and electronic layout for the experiment. Panel A): The output of a 1064 nm
laser is used to produce a 532 nm field via a second harmonic generator (SHG), a local oscillator (LO) for homodyne detection,
and two frequency-shifted fields (CLF and RLF) for generating error signals to control the squeeze angle and the filter cavity
detuning. The squeezing angle is sensed using the coherent locking field (CLF), and the filter cavity detuning is sensed by the
resonant locking field (RLF). The 532 nm field is split into two components, one for generating squeezing as well as controlling
the length of the OPO, and the other for controlling the length of the filter cavity. Panel B): frequency-independent squeezed
vacuum generated by the OPO is injected into the filter cavity, and experiences frequency-dependent rotation upon reflection.
panel C): the frequency-dependent squeezing is measured on a balanced homodyne detector. Panel D): how the filter cavity
will integrate optically with the LIGO interferometer.
II. FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT SQUEEZING
WITH A FILTER CAVITY
We produce frequency-dependent squeezing by reflect-
ing a squeezed state from one or more optical cavities,
known as “filter cavities”; a method first suggested by
Kimble et al. in 2001 [8]. When the filter cavity
resonance is “detuned” with an offset relative to the
carrier frequency of the squeezed state, it applies a
differential phase shift to the upper and lower sidebands
of the squeezed optical field. Since the squeezed
quadrature angle at a given sideband frequency is
determined by the relative phase between the upper and
lower sidebands, the filter cavity serves to rotate the
squeezed state for sideband frequencies that lie within
the cavity linewidth (see Appendix A.3 of [9] for details).
For Advanced LIGO, a single filter cavity is needed
to imprint the required frequency-dependence on the
injected squeezing [10, 15]. When squeezing is
injected into the interferometer without a filter cavity,
as is routinely done in both Advanced LIGO [16]
and Advanced Virgo [4] during observing run 3, the
optomechanical interaction between the amplitude of the
optical field and the momentum of the suspended optics
will shear (both squeeze and rotate) the injected state at
low frequencies. When injecting frequency-independent
squeezing, this rotates part of the antisqueezed vacuum
noise into the readout quadrature [17]. The A+ filter
cavity is designed to apply a compensating rotation to
the squeezed state before it enters the interferometer,
to cancel the rotation due to the optomechanical
interaction.
The power circulating in the interferometer arm
cavities determines the strength of the optomechanical
interaction and thus the frequency of the squeeze angle
rotation required to compensate it. With up to 800 kW of
circulating power anticipated for future observation runs,
3
the filter cavity must have a bandwidth of approximately
50 Hz, equivalent to a storage time of 3 ms.
In general, for a low-loss optical resonator of length L
and input mirror transmission Tin, the cavity half-width-
half-maximum-power bandwidth γ/2π, in units of Hz, is

, (1)
where Λ is the round trip loss in the cavity and F is the
finesse of the cavity.
From the approximation on the right, it follows that
in order to achieve a bandwidth as narrow as 50 Hz, the
filter cavity must either be very long or have a very high
finesse (i.e. very low optical loss). For example, a 300 m
long filter cavity like the one planned for A+ [13] (and
the one operating in Japan [18] [14]) can achieve a 50 Hz
bandwidth with a finesse of F = 5, 000, while a 15 m filter
cavity would need a finesse 20 times higher, F = 100, 000.
III. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
An overview of the experimental apparatus is shown
in Fig. 1. A 16 m long filter cavity is enclosed in ultra-
high vacuum chambers identical to those at the LIGO
sites. The input and output mirrors of the filter cavity are
2” super-polished fused-silica optics mounted on tip-tilt
suspensions [19] that are placed on seismically-isolated
platforms that mimic those in Advanced LIGO [20].
The filter cavity storage time is 2.8 ms and has a
finesse of ∼80000 for 1064 nm light. The inferred cavity
round-trip loss, excluding input mirror transmissivity, is
Λ = 19 ppm, corresponding to a decoherence time of
5.7 ms [21].
The frequency-independent squeezed vacuum source
which drives the filter cavity is nearly identical to the
one currently in use in Advanced LIGO [16]. Squeezing is
produced by parametric downconversion in an in-vacuum
bowtie optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by
532 nm light that is delivered via an optical fiber. The
squeezed beam is then reflected off the detuned filter
cavity. A Faraday isolator steers the returning squeezed
beam from the filter cavity through a viewport towards
an in-air balanced homodyne detector [22], where the
frequency-dependent squeezed state is characterized.
The key parameters of this system are listed in Table
I.
IV. OBSERVATION OF
FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT SQUEEZING
Fig. 2 shows squeezing measurements for various
configurations of the filter cavity. First, a reference
measurement without squeezing is taken to determine the
shot noise. All subsequent measurements are normalized
to this shot noise level. Next, a measurement of
frequency-independent squeezing is taken by holding the
TABLE I. Experimentally determined parameters of the
frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum source. Entries
marked by an asterisk were determined most accurately
through fitting to the data. In all cases fitting produced
values in agreement with independent measurements and
their uncertainties.

filter cavity far from resonance (brown). The measured
squeezing level of 4.4 dB establishes the parameters of the
squeezed vacuum source, independent of the filter cavity.
All measurements of frequency-dependent squeezing
shown are performed with a ∼30 Hz filter cavity
detuning. With this detuning, measurements are taken
at five different homodyne angles: one for measuring
the squeezed quadrature at frequencies outside the
filter cavity bandwidth (purple), one for measuring
the antisqueezed quadrature (blue) and intermediate
homodyne angles (orange, green, red).
We use a detailed quantum noise model to verify
our understanding of the system and the measured
parameters. In particular, we employ the two-photon
formalism, introduced in [23] and expanded upon in [9],
to model the action of the cavity on the squeezed
state. Decoherence and degradation mechanisms arising
from experimental imperfections are also included. For
each measurement, parameters that are difficult to
measure directly (marked with asterisks in Table I), are
determined from the model fits.
Under normal operating conditions in Advanced
LIGO, the filter cavity will rotate the squeezed state
to compensate the optomechanical interaction in the
interferometer [6]. While the current measurement does
not include the LIGO interferometer, our model allows us
to compute the maximum quantum noise reduction that
could be measured if the interferometer’s optomechanical
interaction were present. This is shown in the black trace
in Fig. 2. At frequencies near the rotation frequency (e.g.,
30 Hz), the loss in the cavity causes this model projection
to go above the shot-noise level. This is expected, given
the finesse and optical losses of the 16 m cavity [10],
and is part of the motivation for the 300 m long filter
cavity for A+. Optics of similar quality in a 300 m filter
cavity will result in little degradation of squeezing even
at frequencies near the filter cavity resonance [13].

FIG. 2. Frequency-dependent squeezing at gravitational-wave detector frequencies. Measured noise (solid) is plotted alongside
models (dashed). Shot noise (gray) is shown to give a baseline of unsqueezed vacuum fluctuations. Frequency-independent
squeezing (brown) shows the performance of our squeezer to low frequencies. The action of the cavity on the squeezed vacuum
is demonstrated in both squeezed (purple) and anti-squeezed (blue) quadratures, as well as intermediate homodyne angles φ
(orange, green, red). The cavity detunings δ were selected to be appropriate for gravitational-wave detectors (20-40 Hz). The
detuning variations are from a nonlinear relationship between the squeezing angle and operating point of the RLF control
scheme. The black line shows the minimum relative quantum noise possible in an interferometer by squeezing after reflection
by this cavity (detuned 30 Hz). For a relative comparison, the gray curve models the quantum noise change expected from
injecting only the frequency independent source of this experiment into a matched interferometer[6]. Data coinciding with
acoustic peaks have been excluded from the frequency-binned data, but are presented in the faded traces. The turn-up in each
curve starting at 20 Hz is due to a mechanical resonance of the optical table.
V. CONTROL OF FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT
SQUEEZING
For squeezed states to be employed in gravitational-
wave detectors, the phase of the squeezed states (i.e.,
their orientation relative to the readout quadrature)
must be kept under tight control. Squeezed-vacuum
states present a particular challenge, as they lack a co-
propagating carrier field needed for phase measurements.
The problem compounds with frequency-dependent
squeezing, in which the cavity rotation frequency must
also be controlled.
As with the frequency-independent squeezed light
sources [16] currently used in Advanced LIGO, overall
phase control is performed with a coherent locking field
(CLF), which is injected into the OPO and co-propagates
with the squeezed state [24]. The CLF is offset in
frequency (typically a few MHz) relative to the carrier,
in order to minimize its noise impact while allowing a
high-precision measurement of the propagation phase of
the squeezed state.
Deviations of the filter cavity from the nominal
detuning (i.e., length offset relative to the carrier
frequency) manifest in two ways. First, the RMS
cavity length noise causes variations in the squeezed
state rotation near and below the rotation frequency,
thereby allowing some of the antisqueezed quadrature
to contaminate the readout. This is analogous to phase
noise in frequency-independent squeezing, but degrades
squeezing performance at frequencies rotated by the filter
cavity. For A+, the RMS displacement noise for the filter
cavity must be lower than 1 pm.
The second manifestation of filter cavity detuning noise
is the modulation of any carrier field which leaks from
the interferometer’s readout port into the squeezed light
path. This leaked “backscatter” light undermines the
benefits of squeezing by adding noise to the readout in
the gravitational-wave band [1, 25]. Optical isolation
elements are used to reduce this leakage light, but at the
cost of increased optical loss that degrades squeezing. For
A+, the filter cavity length noise in the 10−100 Hz band
must be better than 10−16
m/
√
Hz.
Maintaining the rotation frequency of our frequency-
dependent squeezing amounts to sensing and controlling
5
the filter cavity length. Historically this has been
done with a second field of a different wavelength (e.g.,
532 nm) which can be introduced into the squeezed path
with dichroic optics [12]. We use this approach to
gain initial control of the filter cavity resonance, but
we find it insufficient for high-precision control, as the
cavity response has subtle discrepancies between the two
wavelengths. To meet the stringent noise requirements of
Advanced LIGO and future detectors, we have developed
a novel sensing scheme that we present here.
The filter cavity sensing scheme demonstrated in this
experiment adapts the LIGO coherent control scheme
[16] to prepare an additional 1064 nm field, frequency-
shifted with respect to the main interferometer carrier
field so as to resonate in the filter cavity. This resonant
locking field (RLF) is then sensitive to the filter cavity
length, and phase or frequency noise on it will be
interpreted as length noise. The RLF is generated
together with the CLF via an acoustic-optic modulator
(see Panel A in Fig. 1), and both fields co-propagate with
the squeezed vacuum field. Co-propagation is critical to
avoid phase noise relative to the CLF, which is phase
locked to the interferometer carrier field. We estimate
the RLF scheme to suppress by at least two orders of
magnitude the phase modulations arising from seismic
and acoustic noise in alternative schemes that use a
532 nm or 1064 nm beam which do not benefit from the
CLF phase control. In summary, the RLF scheme has
two benefits: first and foremost, its phase coherence with
the CLF and thus the squeezed state allow it to meet
the stringent backscatter requirements for A+. Second,
it senses the cavity length at the same wavelength as
the squeezing field, thereby avoiding drifts and noises
found in schemes which employ other wavelengths for
filter cavity control.
VI. CONCLUSIONS AND OUTLOOK
The A+ upgrade to the Advanced LIGO detectors
relies on frequency-dependent squeezing to achieve a
broadband reduction of quantum noise. Achieving the
requisite <40 Hz rotation frequency of the squeezed state
necessitates a 300 m long filter cavity with low loss optics.
Here we produce this rotation frequency by coupling
the Advanced LIGO squeezed vacuum source with a
16 m filter cavity, the longest available in our facility.
The present result improves on a previous experiment
by almost two orders of magnitude [26], providing
assurance that the 300 m long filter cavity currently
under construction for A+ will work as intended. Just as
important, we demonstrate the ability to control the filter
cavity length with a novel technique capable of meeting
stringent requirements imposed by back-scattered light
noise. When combined with improved optical mirror
coatings, low loss Faraday isolators [27] and active
mode matching elements, frequency-dependent squeezing
enables a broadband improvement of a factor of 2 in the
detector noise over Advanced LIGO [28], a factor of 8
in detection volume, to vastly expand LIGO’s discovery
space [29].

Frequency-Dependent Squeezing for Advanced LIGO

  • 1. Frequency-Dependent Squeezing for Advanced LIGO L. McCuller,1, ∗ C. Whittle,1, † D. Ganapathy,1 K. Komori,1 M. Tse,1 A. Fernandez-Galiana,1 L. Barsotti,1 P. Fritschel,1 M. MacInnis,1 F. Matichard,1 K. Mason,1 N. Mavalvala,1 R. Mittleman,1 Haocun Yu,1 M. E. Zucker,1, 2 and M. Evans1 1 LIGO, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA 2 LIGO, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA (Dated: March 31, 2020) The first detection of gravitational waves by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 launched the era of gravitational wave astronomy. The quest for gravitational wave signals from objects that are fainter or farther away impels technological advances to realize ever more sensitive detectors. Since 2019, one advanced technique, the injection of squeezed states of light is being used to improve the shot noise limit to the sensitivity of the Advanced LIGO detectors, at frequencies above ∼ 50 Hz. Below this frequency, quantum back action, in the form of radiation pressure induced motion of the mirrors, degrades the sensitivity. To simultaneously reduce shot noise at high frequencies and quantum radiation pressure noise at low frequencies requires a quantum noise filter cavity with low optical losses to rotate the squeezed quadrature as a function of frequency. We report on the observation of frequency-dependent squeezed quadrature rotation with rotation frequency of 30 Hz, using a 16 m long filter cavity. A novel control scheme is developed for this frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum source, and the results presented here demonstrate that a low-loss filter cavity can achieve the squeezed quadrature rotation necessary for the next planned upgrade to Advanced LIGO, known as “A+.” I. INTRODUCTION Quantum noise imposes a fundamental limitation on the precision of physical measurements. In gravitational-wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO [1], it manifests in two ways: shot noise, caused by quantum fluctuations in the arrival time of photons detected at the interferometer output; and quantum radiation pressure noise (QRPN), due to quantum fluctuations in the photon flux impinging on the interferometer mirrors. Both noises have a common origin—electromagnetic vacuum states entering the open output port of the interferometer [2]. During its third observing run, Advanced LIGO has been detecting roughly one astrophysical event per week, compared to one per month in previous observing runs. A significant factor in the sensitivity improvements that has enabled this increased detection rate is the injection of squeezed states of light into the output port of the Advanced LIGO detectors [3]. Squeezed state injection— or simply “squeezing”—has also been used in the Advanced Virgo and GEO detectors [4, 5]. The squeezed states used redistribute quantum uncertainty to have a minimum in the phase quadrature, thus reducing shot noise that dominates above ∼ 50 Hz. As a consequence of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the increased noise in the amplitude quadrature degrades the sensitivity of the interferometer at lower frequencies due to radiation pressure that drives motion of the 40 kg mirrors of the interferometer. This quantum radiation pressure ∗ lee.mcculler@ligo.org † chris.whittle@ligo.org noise has been observed in the Advanced LIGO [6] and Virgo [7] detectors under current operating conditions, and limits the level of squeezing which can be profitably used. To avoid degradation in the low frequency sensitivity due to the quantum radiation pressure noise that results from higher levels of squeezing and/or increased laser power in the interferometers, a technique known as “frequency-dependent squeezing” [8, 9] is required [10, 11]. In this work, we present a measurement of frequency-dependent squeezing from a system scalable to Advanced LIGO’s upcoming A+ upgrade. To achieve this, an optical cavity with low optical losses realized a squeezing rotation frequency nearly two orders of magnitude lower than the previous demonstration [12]. We also introduce a novel optical sensing scheme that allows for controlling the squeezed vacuum source to meet the stringent requirements of the Advanced LIGO detectors [13]. The importance of frequency-dependent squeezing for gravitational-wave detection cannot be overstated. A+ is the only planned upgrade for Advanced LIGO in the foreseeable future, and frequency-dependent squeezing the only technology mature enough to provide broadband improvement in sensitivity. Concurrent with, and independent of, this work, a similar experiment was carried out in Japan with a 300 m filter cavity, which demonstrates sub-shot-noise performance below the squeezed state rotation frequency [14]. arXiv:2003.13443v1 [astro-ph.IM] 26 Mar 2020

Panel A): The output of a 1064 nm laser is used to produce a 532 nm field via a second harmonic generator (SHG), a local oscillator (LO) for homodyne detection, and two frequency-shifted fields (CLF and RLF) for generating error signals to control the squeeze angle and the filter cavity detuning. The squeezing angle is sensed using the coherent locking field (CLF), and the filter cavity detuning is sensed by the resonant locking field (RLF). The 532 nm field is split into two components, one for generating squeezing as well as controlling the length of the OPO, and the other for controlling the length of the filter cavity. Panel B): frequency-independent squeezed vacuum generated by the OPO is injected into the filter cavity, and experiences frequency-dependent rotation upon reflection. panel C): the frequency-dependent squeezing is measured on a balanced homodyne detector. Panel D): how the filter cavity will integrate optically with the LIGO interferometer. II. FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT SQUEEZING WITH A FILTER CAVITY We produce frequency-dependent squeezing by reflect- ing a squeezed state from one or more optical cavities, known as “filter cavities”; a method first suggested by Kimble et al. in 2001 [8]. When the filter cavity resonance is “detuned” with an offset relative to the carrier frequency of the squeezed state, it applies a differential phase shift to the upper and lower sidebands of the squeezed optical field. Since the squeezed quadrature angle at a given sideband frequency is determined by the relative phase between the upper and lower sidebands, the filter cavity serves to rotate the squeezed state for sideband frequencies that lie within the cavity linewidth (see Appendix A.3 of [9] for details). For Advanced LIGO, a single filter cavity is needed to imprint the required frequency-dependence on the injected squeezing [10, 15]. When squeezing is injected into the interferometer without a filter cavity, as is routinely done in both Advanced LIGO [16] and Advanced Virgo [4] during observing run 3, the optomechanical interaction between the amplitude of the optical field and the momentum of the suspended optics will shear (both squeeze and rotate) the injected state at low frequencies. When injecting frequency-independent squeezing, this rotates part of the antisqueezed vacuum noise into the readout quadrature [17]. The A+ filter cavity is designed to apply a compensating rotation to the squeezed state before it enters the interferometer, to cancel the rotation due to the optomechanical interaction. The power circulating in the interferometer arm cavities determines the strength of the optomechanical interaction and thus the frequency of the squeeze angle rotation required to compensate it. With up to 800 kW of circulating power anticipated for future observation runs,
  • 3. 3 the filter cavity must have a bandwidth of approximately 50 Hz, equivalent to a storage time of 3 ms. In general, for a low-loss optical resonator of length L and input mirror transmission Tin, the cavity half-width- half-maximum-power bandwidth γ/2π, in units of Hz, is γ 2π = Tin + Λ 4π c 2L ≈ c 4LF , (1) where Λ is the round trip loss in the cavity and F is the finesse of the cavity. From the approximation on the right, it follows that in order to achieve a bandwidth as narrow as 50 Hz, the filter cavity must either be very long or have a very high finesse (i.e. very low optical loss). For example, a 300 m long filter cavity like the one planned for A+ [13] (and the one operating in Japan [18] [14]) can achieve a 50 Hz bandwidth with a finesse of F = 5, 000, while a 15 m filter cavity would need a finesse 20 times higher, F = 100, 000. III. EXPERIMENTAL SETUP An overview of the experimental apparatus is shown in Fig. 1. A 16 m long filter cavity is enclosed in ultra- high vacuum chambers identical to those at the LIGO sites. The input and output mirrors of the filter cavity are 2” super-polished fused-silica optics mounted on tip-tilt suspensions [19] that are placed on seismically-isolated platforms that mimic those in Advanced LIGO [20]. The filter cavity storage time is 2.8 ms and has a finesse of ∼80000 for 1064 nm light. The inferred cavity round-trip loss, excluding input mirror transmissivity, is Λ = 19 ppm, corresponding to a decoherence time of 5.7 ms [21]. The frequency-independent squeezed vacuum source which drives the filter cavity is nearly identical to the one currently in use in Advanced LIGO [16]. Squeezing is produced by parametric downconversion in an in-vacuum bowtie optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by 532 nm light that is delivered via an optical fiber. The squeezed beam is then reflected off the detuned filter cavity. A Faraday isolator steers the returning squeezed beam from the filter cavity through a viewport towards an in-air balanced homodyne detector [22], where the frequency-dependent squeezed state is characterized. The key parameters of this system are listed in Table I. IV. OBSERVATION OF FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT SQUEEZING Fig. 2 shows squeezing measurements for various configurations of the filter cavity. First, a reference measurement without squeezing is taken to determine the shot noise. All subsequent measurements are normalized to this shot noise level. Next, a measurement of frequency-independent squeezing is taken by holding the TABLE I. Experimentally determined parameters of the frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum source. Entries marked by an asterisk were determined most accurately through fitting to the data. In all cases fitting produced values in agreement with independent measurements and their uncertainties.

The measured squeezing level of 4.4 dB establishes the parameters of the squeezed vacuum source, independent of the filter cavity. All measurements of frequency-dependent squeezing shown are performed with a ∼30 Hz filter cavity detuning. With this detuning, measurements are taken at five different homodyne angles: one for measuring the squeezed quadrature at frequencies outside the filter cavity bandwidth (purple), one for measuring the antisqueezed quadrature (blue) and intermediate homodyne angles (orange, green, red). We use a detailed quantum noise model to verify our understanding of the system and the measured parameters. In particular, we employ the two-photon formalism, introduced in [23] and expanded upon in [9], to model the action of the cavity on the squeezed state. Decoherence and degradation mechanisms arising from experimental imperfections are also included. For each measurement, parameters that are difficult to measure directly (marked with asterisks in Table I), are determined from the model fits. Under normal operating conditions in Advanced LIGO, the filter cavity will rotate the squeezed state to compensate the optomechanical interaction in the interferometer [6]. While the current measurement does not include the LIGO interferometer, our model allows us to compute the maximum quantum noise reduction that could be measured if the interferometer’s optomechanical interaction were present. This is shown in the black trace in Fig. 2. At frequencies near the rotation frequency (e.g., 30 Hz), the loss in the cavity causes this model projection to go above the shot-noise level. This is expected, given the finesse and optical losses of the 16 m cavity [10], and is part of the motivation for the 300 m long filter cavity for A+. Optics of similar quality in a 300 m filter cavity will result in little degradation of squeezing even at frequencies near the filter cavity resonance [13].

Frequency-dependent squeezing at gravitational-wave detector frequencies. Measured noise (solid) is plotted alongside models (dashed). Shot noise (gray) is shown to give a baseline of unsqueezed vacuum fluctuations. Frequency-independent squeezing (brown) shows the performance of our squeezer to low frequencies. The action of the cavity on the squeezed vacuum is demonstrated in both squeezed (purple) and anti-squeezed (blue) quadratures, as well as intermediate homodyne angles φ (orange, green, red). The cavity detunings δ were selected to be appropriate for gravitational-wave detectors (20-40 Hz). The detuning variations are from a nonlinear relationship between the squeezing angle and operating point of the RLF control scheme. The black line shows the minimum relative quantum noise possible in an interferometer by squeezing after reflection by this cavity (detuned 30 Hz). For a relative comparison, the gray curve models the quantum noise change expected from injecting only the frequency independent source of this experiment into a matched interferometer[6]. Data coinciding with acoustic peaks have been excluded from the frequency-binned data, but are presented in the faded traces. The turn-up in each curve starting at 20 Hz is due to a mechanical resonance of the optical table. V. CONTROL OF FREQUENCY-DEPENDENT SQUEEZING For squeezed states to be employed in gravitational- wave detectors, the phase of the squeezed states (i.e., their orientation relative to the readout quadrature) must be kept under tight control. Squeezed-vacuum states present a particular challenge, as they lack a co- propagating carrier field needed for phase measurements. The problem compounds with frequency-dependent squeezing, in which the cavity rotation frequency must also be controlled. As with the frequency-independent squeezed light sources [16] currently used in Advanced LIGO, overall phase control is performed with a coherent locking field (CLF), which is injected into the OPO and co-propagates with the squeezed state [24]. The CLF is offset in frequency (typically a few MHz) relative to the carrier, in order to minimize its noise impact while allowing a high-precision measurement of the propagation phase of the squeezed state. Deviations of the filter cavity from the nominal detuning (i.e., length offset relative to the carrier frequency) manifest in two ways. First, the RMS cavity length noise causes variations in the squeezed state rotation near and below the rotation frequency, thereby allowing some of the antisqueezed quadrature to contaminate the readout. This is analogous to phase noise in frequency-independent squeezing, but degrades squeezing performance at frequencies rotated by the filter cavity. For A+, the RMS displacement noise for the filter cavity must be lower than 1 pm. The second manifestation of filter cavity detuning noise is the modulation of any carrier field which leaks from the interferometer’s readout port into the squeezed light path. This leaked “backscatter” light undermines the benefits of squeezing by adding noise to the readout in the gravitational-wave band [1, 25]. Optical isolation elements are used to reduce this leakage light, but at the cost of increased optical loss that degrades squeezing. For A+, the filter cavity length noise in the 10−100 Hz band must be better than 10−16 m/ √ Hz. Maintaining the rotation frequency of our frequency- dependent squeezing amounts to sensing and controlling
  • 5. 5 the filter cavity length. Historically this has been done with a second field of a different wavelength (e.g., 532 nm) which can be introduced into the squeezed path with dichroic optics [12]. We use this approach to gain initial control of the filter cavity resonance, but we find it insufficient for high-precision control, as the cavity response has subtle discrepancies between the two wavelengths. To meet the stringent noise requirements of Advanced LIGO and future detectors, we have developed a novel sensing scheme that we present here. The filter cavity sensing scheme demonstrated in this experiment adapts the LIGO coherent control scheme [16] to prepare an additional 1064 nm field, frequency- shifted with respect to the main interferometer carrier field so as to resonate in the filter cavity. This resonant locking field (RLF) is then sensitive to the filter cavity length, and phase or frequency noise on it will be interpreted as length noise. The RLF is generated together with the CLF via an acoustic-optic modulator (see Panel A in Fig. 1), and both fields co-propagate with the squeezed vacuum field. Co-propagation is critical to avoid phase noise relative to the CLF, which is phase locked to the interferometer carrier field. We estimate the RLF scheme to suppress by at least two orders of magnitude the phase modulations arising from seismic and acoustic noise in alternative schemes that use a 532 nm or 1064 nm beam which do not benefit from the CLF phase control. In summary, the RLF scheme has two benefits: first and foremost, its phase coherence with the CLF and thus the squeezed state allow it to meet the stringent backscatter requirements for A+. Second, it senses the cavity length at the same wavelength as the squeezing field, thereby avoiding drifts and noises found in schemes which employ other wavelengths for filter cavity control. VI. CONCLUSIONS AND OUTLOOK The A+ upgrade to the Advanced LIGO detectors relies on frequency-dependent squeezing to achieve a broadband reduction of quantum noise. Achieving the requisite <40 Hz rotation frequency of the squeezed state necessitates a 300 m long filter cavity with low loss optics. Here we produce this rotation frequency by coupling the Advanced LIGO squeezed vacuum source with a 16 m filter cavity, the longest available in our facility. The present result improves on a previous experiment by almost two orders of magnitude [26], providing assurance that the 300 m long filter cavity currently under construction for A+ will work as intended. Just as important, we demonstrate the ability to control the filter cavity length with a novel technique capable of meeting stringent requirements imposed by back-scattered light noise. When combined with improved optical mirror coatings, low loss Faraday isolators [27] and active mode matching elements, frequency-dependent squeezing enables a broadband improvement of a factor of 2 in the detector noise over Advanced LIGO [28], a factor of 8 in detection volume, to vastly expand LIGO’s discovery space [29].
