Experiments with higher-order Hermite-Gauss laser beams
Researchers generated and tested higher-order Hermite-Gauss laser beams in optical cavities. These special laser beam shapes may help reduce noise in gravitational wave detectors. The team purified and characterized the beams, measuring their sensitivity to misalignment and mismatch. The results agreed with theory and demonstrated the beams' potential for sensing and control.
