In this paper, we report on the progress in the development of an optical read‐out (ORO) system for the inertial sensor of the LISA gravitational wave antenna. The device is based on optical levers and position sensors and is intended to be integrated in the present baseline design for the LISA inertial sensor, which is based on capacitive readout of the test mass position. In particular, we report some improved measurement of the sensitivity of this device, performed with a bench‐top rigid set‐up and tests on a real scale prototype.

Abstract
In this paper, we report on the progress in the development of an optical read‐out (ORO) system for the inertial sensor of the LISA gravitational wave antenna. The device is based on optical levers and position sensors and is intended to be integrated in the present baseline design for the LISA inertial sensor, which is based on capacitive readout of the test mass position. In particular, we report some improved measurement of the sensitivity of this device, performed with a bench‐top rigid set‐up and tests on a real scale prototype.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
