Abstract
We introduce a new Fabry-Perot based interferometric gravitational wav e detector that, compared with previous designs, greatly decreases the amount of power that must be transmitted through optical substrates t o obtain a given light power in its arms. This significantly reduces t he effects of wavefront distortions caused by heating due to absorptio n in the optics, and allows an improved broadband sensitivity to be ac hieved.
