The LIGO mirrors
No events were detected at LIGO, until they made some upgrades such as: re-examined the coating and size of the mirrors. They looked at the how a laser beam can slightly heat and deform mirrors, while also causing them to move a tiny distance. So they decided to use heavier mirrors to cut down…
