Research on the analytical development and progress of gravitational wave detection technology

Abstract

This article demonstrates the basic principle and the recent progress of gravitational wave detection based on information retrieval and literature review. The article describes and illustrates the gravitational wave, including the description of the adopted field equation and its properties. There is also a demonstration of the principle behind the first direct gravitational wave detection. Some other potential ground-based detectors, e.g., KAGRA and space-borne detectors, are also listed and contrasted. Since gravitational waves tend to retain themselves from interacting with matter, which travels from a much earlier time than Electromagnetic waves and should be a vital component to Cosmology studies, the space-borne detectors Taiji and LISA will also interlace with each other to explore deeper space in the 2030s, which would be significant progress in gravitational wave Astronomy. This article employs literature analysis that examines papers that discuss the nature of gravitational waves and their detection. These analyses will shed light on gravitational wave detection development.
