This review provides an outline of both the astrophysical and experimental aspects of gravitational wave physics. Divided into five parts, the first section gives an introduction to the field, briefly discussing significance and methods used for detection. Section 2 focusses on the different sources of gravitational waves and their expected signal strengths. We also discuss the significance of the new binary system PSR J0737-3039 to gravitational wave physics. In section 3, the methods and assumptions used to model the temporal evolution of a stochastic gravitational wave background are presented. Resonant mass detectors are the subject of section 4, in which relevant concepts and issues are discussed in more detail. This section includes the fundamental noise sources and methods of improving on current designs. The final section, focuses on interferometric gravitational wave detection. Optical layout, vibration isolation and thermal noise are discussed in regards to maximizing detector sensitivity.
