The Advanced Virgo Gravitational wave detector : Study of the optical design and development of the mirrors
Gravitational waves have been predicted by Einstein in his General Relativity theory. Theyare perturbation of the space-time metric and we try to reveal them by laser interferometry. More precisely,gravitational wave detectors are km long Michelson interferometers combined with Fabry-Perot cavities....
