Abstract
We have studied the interferometric sensitivity for gravitational wave detection explicitly including the photodetector efficiency. We show that the sensitivity is very strongly affected by non-ideal photodetec tor efficiency when we inject a squeezed signal, as compared to the or dinary vacuum case. Quantum limits and resonance are also discussed fo r short time detections. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
