Abstract
Future gravitational-wave detectors will use frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum states to obtain broadband reduction of quantum noise. Quantum noise is one of the major limitations to the sensitivity of these detectors. Advanced LIGO+, Advanced Virgo+, and KAGRA plan to generate frequency-dependent squeezed states by coupling a frequency-independent squeezed light state with a filter cavity. An alternative technique is under consideration, based on conditional squeezing with quantum entanglement: Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) squeezing. In the EPR scheme, two vacuum entangled states, the signal field at ω0 and the idler field at ω0+Δ, must be spatially separated with an optical resonator and sent to two separate homodyne detectors. In this framework, we have designed and tested a solid Fabry-Perot etalon, to be used in an EPR table-top experiment prototype, thermally controlled without the use of a control probe optical beam. This device can also be used in optical experiments where the use of a bright beam to control an optical resonator is not possible, or where a simpler optical device is preferred.
