Strategy to deal with seismic noise
Seismic noise is so large we need multiple Seismic noise is so large, we need multiple strategies for dealing with it.
1st as much isolation as we can build1st, as much isolation as we can build.This will partly solve the problem, but will leave
strong noise at low frequency.strong noise at low frequency.2nd, build an instrument that can be sensitive at
high frequencies (where we can make seismic high frequencies (where we can make seismic noise small), while tolerating the remaining strong noise at low frequencies.g qThis means ensuring linearity, and making
thoughtful use of servo control.

Need for multi-dof isolationNeed for multi-dof isolation
We need good vertical (and transverse horizontal) We need good vertical (and transverse horizontal) isolation as well.
Why?Why?– If not, some of the large transverse motion would be
converted into optic-axis motion by asymmetries in the pendulum.
– Interferometer has some sensitivity to vertical motion, because arms can’t be level everywherebecause arms can t be level everywhere.
The earth is curved!
So, we need quasi-isotropic isolation. Such isolators are q pcalled mass-spring “stacks”. They were invented by Joseph Weber.
