The prospects for direct measurements of inflationary gravitational waves by next generation interferometric detectors inferred from the possible detection of-mode polarization of the cosmic microwave background are studied. We compute the spectra of the gravitational wave background and the signal-to-noise ratios by two interferometric detectors (DECIGO and BBO) for large-field inflationary models in which the tensor-to-scalar ratio is greater than the order of 0.01. If the reheating temperatureof chaotic inflation with the quadratic potential is high (for upgraded DECIGO andfor BBO), it will be possible to reach the sensitivity of the gravitational background in future experiments atconfidence level. The direct detection is also possible for natural inflation with the potential, provided that(upgraded DECIGO) and(BBO) withhigher than. The quartic potentialwith a nonminimal couplingbetween the inflaton fieldand the Ricci scalargives rise to a detectable level of gravitational waves forsmaller than the order of 0.01, irrespective of the reheating temperature.
