The University of Glasgow leads the development of the fused silica suspensions for the advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors in the US. As part of the LIGO A+ upgrade (with UK contribution funded by STFC) the fused silica fibre pulling machine at the Hanford site will be upgraded. Part of this upgrade is the implementation of a stabilisation loop based on the temperature of the melt during the pulling process. This will result in fibres with improved strength and dimensional tolerance.

格拉斯哥大学领导了美国先进LIGO引力波探测器的熔融石英悬浮液的开发。作为LIGO A+升级的一部分（由STFC资助的英国捐款），汉福德工厂的熔融石英光纤拉丝机将进行升级。这一升级的一部分是在拉丝过程中基于熔体温度的稳定回路的实施。这将导致纤维具有改进的强度和尺寸公差。
