Advance and prospect in the study of laser interferometry technology for space gravitational wave detection
With the successful detection of ground gravitational waves,space gravitational wave detection,targeting lower frequency bands and wider target wave sources and reflecting more astrophysical phenomena,has been receiving increasing attention from many research teams in various countries.To clarify the development level and limiting factors of the current gravitational wave detection program and prepare for the improvement of the interferometer measurement level in the next step,this article focuses on laser interferometry technology.On the one hand,it reviews the principle of space gravitational wave detection and the in-orbit detection results of typical detection projects at home and abroad.On the other hand,the overall layout of the interferometric measurement system is demonstrated,and the impact mechanisms and suppression methods for main noise sources are introduced.
