Abstract

Radiation pressure noise of photon and photon shot noise are quantum noise limitation in interferometric gravita-tional wave detectors. Since relationship between the two noises is position and momentum of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, quantum non-demolition (QND) technique is required to reduce the two noises at the same time. Frequency dependent squeezing using a filter cavity is one of realistic solutions for QND measurement and experimental results show that its cutting-edge performance is sufficient to apply to the current gravitational wave detectors. A 300m filter cavity is under construction at adv-LIGO. KAGRA (gravitational wave detector in Japan) has also started international collaboration to build a filter cavity. Recently we joined the filter cavity project for KAGRA. Current status of squeezing and filter cavity research at KASI and details of the KAGRA filter cavity project will be presented.
