摘要：

The goal of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) project is to measure and study gravitational waves from astrophysical sources. Currently, three interferometers with arm lengths of several kilometres and a design strain sensitivity of order 2 x 10(-23) /rootHz are being commissioned at two independent sites in Hanford (WA) and Livingston (LA). This paper describes the current progress towards achieving LIGO's target sensitivity.
