Abstract
We propose a new interferometer technique for high-precision phase measurements such as those in gravitational wave detection. The technique utilizes a pair of optically coupled resonators that provide identical resonance conditions for the upper as well the lower phase modulation signal sidebands. This symmetry significantly reduces the noise spectral density in a wide frequency band compared with single-sideband recycling topologies of current and planned gravitational wave detectors. Furthermore, the application of squeezed states of light becomes less demanding.
