报告摘要：In 2016, LIGO has announced two signals were detected from the merging of two black holes, contributing to the direct detection of gravitational waves. As an MIT graduate student also working at LIGO Hanford Observatory, in this talk, I will introduce and explain the LIGO detector with its sub-systems. I will also talk about the current situation of LIGO and the optomechanical experiment conducted at the MIT LIGO laboratory.
