世界各地已经建造了几个公里级引力波探测器。这些仪器联合收割机结合了许多先进技术，推动了精确长度测量的极限。核心设备是一种新型的激光干涉仪;从经典的迈克尔逊拓扑结构发展而来，这些干涉仪集成了额外的光学元件，显着改变了光学系统的特性。这些激光干涉仪的大部分设计和分析可以使用众所周知的经典光学技术进行，然而，复杂的光学布局提供了一个新的挑战。在这篇评论中，我们给出了一个教科书式的介绍，以了解现代引力波探测器，以及其他高精度激光干涉仪所需的光学科学。此外，我们还提供了一些免费的干涉仪仿真软件的例子，并鼓励读者使用这些例子来获得所讨论的光学方法的实践经验。
Several km-scale gravitational-wave detectors have been constructed world wide. These instruments combine a number of advanced technologies to push the limits of precision length measurement. The core devices are laser interferometers of a new kind; developed from the classical Michelson topology these interferometers integrate additional optical elements, which significantly change the properties of the optical system. Much of the design and analysis of these laser interferometers can be performed using well-known classical optical techniques, however, the complex optical layouts provide a new challenge. In this review we give a textbook-style introduction to the optical science required for the understanding of modern gravitational wave detectors, as well as other high-precision laser interferometers. In addition, we provide a number of examples for a freely available interferometer simulation software and encourage the reader to use these examples to gain hands-on experience with the discussed optical methods.
