Barone and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2000 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text introduces needed theoretical instruments and offers an up-to-date discussion on fundamental physics as well as the experimental tools used and developed for the construction and exploitation of gravitational wave antennae (resonant bars, ground-based and space interferometric detectors). In addition, problems in the fields of optics, signal processing, control and feedback in active mechanical filtering are deeply analyzed, with reference to solutions adopted in the main detectors.
