The existence of the gravitational wave was predicted by A. Einstein in his general theory of relativity, but it has not yet been directly detected. If we detect gravitational waves, we can open a new window to the Universe, that is “gravitational wave astronomy”, by observing the formation of a black hole, the beginning of the Universe, etc. Actually several km-class laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors have been built over the world to detect gravitational waves, including the Japanese detector, …
