Key technology for the Einstein Telescope reaches next milestone
High-precision laser from Hannover is used in new test environment

The Einstein Telescope (ET) is Europe's future gravitational-wave observatory. The ETpathfinder research and development facility in Maastricht is testing key technologies for ET. One such technology is a novel laser source from Hannover.
The laser source was developed jointly by the @mpi_grav and @unihannover. Its light is now being used for the first time in the ETpathfinder's vacuum system.
These results will be instrumental in the development of future laser sources for gravitational-wave detectors, such as ET and the US Cosmic Explorer project.
