Dr. Manasadevi P. Thirugnanasambandam is an experimental physicist working at the intersection of precision laser systems, interferometry, and quantum optics. Her research aims to push measurement sensitivity beyond classical limits through quantum-enhanced techniques like squeezing. She develops ultra-low-noise, highly stabilized laser systems that support laser and quantum noise reduction strategies for present and next-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. By combining high-power stabilized lasers with squeezed-light injection, she seeks to improve interferometric sensitivity beyond the shot-noise limit. She also investigates the role of squeezed states in secure and efficient quantum communication, connecting fundamental quantum optics with emerging quantum technologies.
