Scientific paper

A new generation of long baseline gravitational wave detectors is currently under construction (LIGO, VIRGO, GEO and TAMA). They incorporate high sensitive Michelson interferometers and have a design goal of measuring displacements of order 10-17 m r.m.s., integrated over a 100 Hz bandwidth centered at the minimum noise region. The purposes of these detectors is to observe gravitational waves from astrophysical sources at cosmological distances, and to open a new view to the universe by collecting information not accessible by conventional telescopes. These lectures present a description of the most promising candidate sources; and summarize the design characteristics of interferometric detectors --in particular, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO).
