FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS OF METROLOGY MODELING THE DYNAMICS OF A GRAVITATIONAL INTERFEROMETER IN THE FIELD OF THE EARTH

摘要

The results are given of a numerical modeling of the behavior of a Fabry-Perot-Michelson optical interferometer utilizing suspended mirrors in the variable gravitational field of the Earth. The possibility is demonstrated of separating and reconstructing the signals in the interferometer arms and of filtering the coherent noise. A prediction is made of the maximum attainable sensitivity of the apparatus to variations of the gravitational gradient.
