Full Transcript

The video explains what gravitational waves are and how they are generated. Moreover, the video explains in detail the working of Laser Interferometers which are used to detect these waves. Laser Interferometers are state-of-the-art displacement measuring devices that are used by LIGO to detect gravitational waves. This video is part of a lecture discussing Linear Displacement Sensors.
