Making h(t) for LIGO
Abstract
The conversion of the read-out from the anti-symmetric port of the LIGO interferometers into gravitational strain has thus far been performed in the frequency domain. Here we describe a conversion in the time domain which is based on the method developed by GEO. We illustrate the method using the Hanford 4km interferometer during the second LIGO science run (S2).
