Abstract

The LIGO gravitational-wave detectors are currently in the middle of the forth observing run, and are routinely detecting multiple gravitational-wave signals from the coalescence of compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars. In this talk I will discuss the technologies that enabled LIGO to reach its unprecedented sensitivity, and the prospects for future improvements.
