Why to build another PT
Maximal overlap with GEO-HF subsystems• Develop and prove as many of the techniques needed for gravitational wave detector
upgrades as possible (e.g. laser, digital control infrastructure)•Provide training for people who will install upgrades to and run GEO-HF
2
Ultra-low displacement-noise test environment• To probe at and beyond the Standard Quantum Limit (SQL)
equivalent Heisenberg limit for 100 g test masses• Thermal noise interferometer•Other experiments within QUEST (for e.g. LISA or GRACE follow on)•Entanglement of macroscopic test masses (a bit further down the road…)

Suspension platform interferometer
Goal:• Stabilize inter table motion• 100 pm/√Hz, 10 nrad/√Hz
@ 10 mHz
Based on LISA Pathfinder experience:• Heterodyne Mach-Zehnder
interferometer with unequal arm length (by 23 m)
• Iodine-stabilised Nd:YAG (frequency noise)
• Optics bonded onto low CTE plate (thermal drifts)
• Digital signal processing (FPGAs)

High reflective coatings have lots of coating layers(1) Few layers medium R, low CTN(2) Many layers high R, high CTN
Let‘s separate reflectivity and losses!
