Application of Low-Frequency Optical Resonance for Detection of High-Frequency Gravitational Waves

The authors analyze opportunity of application of the Fabry-Perot interferometers for detection of high-frequency gravitational wave perturbations occurred during the initial stage of the formation of the Universe. It is shown that at usage of the phenomenon of low-frequency optical resonance there is opportunity of tuning of laser interferometric gravitational wave antenna for detection of high-frequency perturbations. The calculation formulas for determination of the spectral sensitivity of the Fabry-Perot interferometer are obtained and the level of the minimum detectable spectral density of fluctuations of the space-time metric is evaluated. We have the advantage of this version of laser interferometric gravitational wave antenna due to absence of necessity to host mirrors of the interferometer on free masses.
