Sensitivity Comparison of Microwave-Frequency and Optical Fibre Interferometry Based on State-of-the-Art Components
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: We compare the sensitivity of fibre interferometers to vibrations using microwave oscillators and state of the art lasers over distances up to 70 km. High spectral purity lasers outperform only above 10 Hz, highlighting microwave advantages at low frequencies and the potential of hybrid microwave optical interferometry systems
