A novel instrumented baffle surrounding the suspended end mirror in the input mode cleaner cavity of the Virgo interferometer was installed in spring 2021. Since then, the device has been regularly operated in the experiment and the obtained results indicate a good agreement with simulations of the stray light inside the optical cavity. The baffle will operate in the upcoming O4 observation run, serving as a demonstrator of the technology designed to instrument the baffles in front of the main mirrors in time for O5. In this paper we present a detailed description of the baffle design, including mechanics, front-end electronics, data acquisition, as well as optical and vacuum tests, calibration and installation procedures, and performance results.

  1. New modeling of the stray light noise in the main arms of the Einstein Telescope

    physics.ins-det 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Stray light noise in Einstein Telescope arms is predicted to stay below the safety margin in ideal conditions, but beam offsets above 4 to 7 cm, tilts above 8 microradians, or strong point absorbers could breach it.
