Abstract
The laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors are poised to make the first direct detection of Gravitational Waves (GW) in the next few years. Research is now focussing on development of next generation technology which will increase the detection range and the signal to noise ratio so as to provide more events, better statistics, and improved resolution of GW sources. I will give a brief introduction to the laser interferometer for gravitational wave detection and its noise sources. I will then discuss the technologies; in particular, using optomechanical devices, for improving the quantum noise limited sensitivity of GW detectors.
