Abstract :
Summary from only given. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a planned spaceborne gravitational wave detector that will measure gravitational waves at millihertz frequencies. Being basically a giant Michelson interferometer with not necessarily equally spaced arm length, LISA requires an extremely stable laser source.
