Abstract

Gravitational wave astronomy is a new and exciting field but has a long history as well as a bright future. The first detections of gravitational waves were from instruments of the second generation of detectors – the first generation of kilometer-scale ground based detectors operated as planned, but did not conclusively observe gravitational waves. The second-generation detectors (Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo) opened the field, and the third-generation detectors will expand our view of the gravitational wave universe to cosmic distances. This chapter will discuss the technological research and development required to build these third-generation detectors.
