Abstract

Recent advances in the field of very long distance optical communication suggest the adoption of the advanced technology based on Hollow Core Nested Anti- resonant Nodeless Fiber (HC-NANF) within the endeavour of Gravitational Wave detection using a Mach-Zehnder optical interferometer (MZ-IF). The proposal, consisting of a summary project of the device emphasizes the favorable properties of (MZ- IF) in comparison with Michelson Interferometer (M-IF) currently in operation. The key feature of the proposed method consists of the use of a couple of “fibrated” metallic antennas enfolded by a very large number (h x 7,7 x 104 with h= 1,2,3 etc.) of coiled rings or of straight sections of the (HC-NANF) fiber. This amounts to a corresponding fiber length: L (K) = h x 1500 Km. The relevant properties of the device are noise reduction, absence of critical optical mirror alignment in a noisy environment, reduced spatial extension of the apparatus, exploration of the entire sky scenario by freely orientable antennas, a substantial cost reduction of the apparatus. The remarkable properties of (HC-NANF), invented by F. Poletti in 2013 are currently investigated by his group at the University of Southampton, UK.

4. The present short historical recollection is based on the content of the book: Giazotto A, Parlangeli A. "La Musica nascosta dell'Universo" (Einaudi 2018). This small book, published after the death of Adalberto Giazotto was a tribute to the his strenuous, highly inspiring endeavour by his friends and collaborators in Italy, France and US. Luckily enough Adalberto, gravely ill, was able to see the success of his long sought idea, first realized by LIGO in 2016, and one year later also by VIRGO in Pisa just three months before his death occurred in November 18, 2017 at the age 77: this was the end of the life of a great scientist. Adalberto was still living his last days when the Nobel prize 2017 was awarded to: Rai Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish.

5. The fundamental nonlocality of physics was first identified by Isaac Newton in the XV century. "...Gravity must caused by an Agent acting constantly to certain Laws, but whether this Agent is material or immaterial, I have left to the Consideration of my Readers…" (I. Newton's Papers and Letters on Natural Philosophy, pag.302. Harvard U.Press Cambridge, Mass 1958). A more extensive sentence by Newton is reported by: N. Gisin, "Can Relativity be considered complete?" 2005; arXiv: quant-ph/0512168v1.
