Inter-spacecraft offset frequency setting strategy in the Taiji program

Jiafeng Zhang et al.

Summary: An offset frequency setting strategy based on a linear programming algorithm is proposed to control the beat frequency of heterodyne interferometry for the Taiji program to detect gravitational waves in space. The results show that offset frequencies can remain unchanged for a maximum of 1931 days with frequency bounds in the range of [5 MHz, 25 MHz], and do not need to change during the mission if upper and lower bounds are adjusted and relative motion between spacecraft is further constrained. These findings may offer insights for selecting phase detector and designing operation parameters in the Taiji program.

Preliminary simulation of intersatellite laser interference link for the Taiji program

Mengyuan Zhao et al.

Summary: The research team developed a computer simulation using a combination of geometric and wave optics to simulate laser interferometry. The simulation models, including the Gaussian beam, diffraction, telescope, and signal readout, were implemented and validated. The simulation results provided a foundation for the optimal design of the interferometer for the Taiji program.

The phasemeter of Taiji-1 experimental satellite

Zi-Ren Luo et al.

Summary: This paper presents the architecture and implementation of the Taiji-1 phasemeter, which is tested on the ground and shown to meet the technical requirements of the Taiji-1 mission in terms of sensitivity and accuracy. The DPLL architecture used in Taiji-1 is considered the best choice for space missions to extract phase information from heterodyne signals.

A brief overview of 8 m prototype facility of laser interferometer for Taiji pathfinder mission

Yu-Qiong Li et al.

Summary: The 8 m laser interferometer prototype facility is being constructed in Beijing, China, aiming to perform laser interferometer experiments and precision detection for the Taiji pathfinder mission. The facility utilizes seismic isolation and passive vibration isolation to stabilize the optical benches, forming low-noise testbeds in an ultra-high vacuum system. A ground laser interferometer demonstration for satellite tracking will also be established.
