Abstract
The laser interferometer space antenna (LISA) will open the signal-rich 100 μHz to 1 Hz gravitational wave window. LISA is expected to be limited by acceleration noise in the low frequency range and noise associated with the optical measurement system above a few mHz. Of the latter, apparent length changes due to spacecraft (SC) angular jitter are among the most critical contributors. One of the coupling mechanisms is via wavefront error in the transmitted beam. Utilizing a Zernike polynomial decomposition of such wavefront error, we introduce and explore the validity of extremely fast best fit polynomial expansion based noise recreation tools that provide a clear picture for which transmit beam perturbations couple most strongly with SC jitter into LISA noise.
