Abstract In this work we study the thermal noise of two monolithically suspended mirrors in a tabletop high-finesse optical cavity. We show that, given suitable seismic filters, such a cavity can be designed to be sensitive to quantum radiation pressure fluctuations in the audio band of gravitational wave interferometric detectors below 1 kHz. Indeed, the thermal noise of the suspensions and of the coatings constitutes the main limit to the observation of quantum radiation pressure fluctuations. This limit can be overcome with an adequate choice of mirror suspension and coating parameters. Finally, we propose to combine two optical cavities, like those modeled in this work, to obtain a tabletop quantum radiation pressure-limited interferometer. Graphical abstract

AbstractAs LBVs have luminosities close to their Eddington limits, their structure is profoundly influenced by radiation pressure. Radiation pressure effects probably cause the highly extended atmospheres and the extreme mass loss observed during the maximum states of the S Dor variables. An opacity-related instability of the radiative acceleration combined with a delayed thermal readjustement of the sub-atmospheric layers possibly explains the large-amplitude radius variations of these objects.

The considerations necessary for minimization of solar radiation pressure effects for gravity-gradient stabilized vehicles are presented here. Owing to the rather weak restoring forces available for gravity-gradient stabilized vehicles, solar pressure torques represent a prime source of attitude errors unless steps are taken to minimize their effects. The solar torque minimization procedure generally consists of four distinct steps for a given vehicle configuration: (a) Derivation of the solar torque expressions for the characteristic vehicle configuration, including such effects as diffuse reflection, multiple reflections, and so on; (b) identification of the relative contribution of the solar torques on the various surfaces, and facilitation of solar torque minimization by balancing torque contributions of similar time variation and opposite sign against one another; (c) minimization of the torque about the vehicle axis with the weakest restoring torque (usually the local vertical) via optimization of reflectance characteristics and other physical parameters (using a steepest descent or similar approach); and (d) determination of the vehicle attitude response for the nominal configuration and reflectances, suggesting any configurational changes which might reduce peak attitude errors if necessary. The minimization procedure is performed in this paper using the NASA / Hughes Applications Technology Satellite (ATS) as a prime example of a gravity-gradient-stabilized satellite in an environment where solar pressure is the predominant external disturbance. The application of the solar balancing techniques to the ATS configuration resulted in peak yaw torques of less than 1 dyne-cm for the synchronous altitude satellite, and corresponding peak attitude errors of less than 1 deg in all axes due to solar pressure torques. Although the torque minimization procedures presented here are applicable in the general sense, the application of the techniques to a specific configuration requires derivation of the solar torque expressions for that particular configuration; therefore, the torque minimization example for the NASA/Hughes ATS vehicle can serve as a guide for other configuration applications.
