Abstract
When subjected to random background vibrations, a standard,
circular-aperture Michelson interferometer with a dynamic alignment servo
system has a misalignment angle that is a random function of time. Here we
derive formulas for the loss in performance when the misalignment angle is
modeled as a stationary stochastic time series and show how these formulas are
simplified when the power spectrum is band-limited white noise.
