We have proposed using laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors to search for ultralight vector and axion dark matter. Vector dark matter can be probed through oscillating forces on suspended mirrors, while axion dark matter can be detected via oscillating polarization rotation of laser beams. This paper reviews these searches with the KAGRA detector in Japan, including the first vector dark matter search with KAGRA's 2020 data and installation of polarization optics for axion dark matter search during the upcoming 2025 observing run.

  1. Detectability of axion-like dark matter for different time-delay interferometry combinations in space-based gravitational wave detectors

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Monitor and Beacon TDI combinations reach g_aγ ~ 10^{-13} GeV^{-1} at high frequencies while Sagnac performs better at low frequencies, with ASTROD-GW probing axion-like dark matter masses down to 10^{-20} eV.

  2. Probing Majoron Dark Matter with Gravitational Wave Detectors

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Majoron dark matter with photon coupling fixed by electroweak and neutrino mass scales induces birefringence signals detectable by Advanced LIGO, KAGRA, and future ground-based laser interferometers.
