A gravitational-wave detector (used in a gravitational-wave observatory) is any device designed to measure tiny distortions of spacetime called gravitational waves.
Just two months later, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-WaveObservatory detected a second wave.

We use such wire for suspending many of the optics in Advanced LIGO, the upgrade to LIGO-theLaser Interferometric Gravitational-WaveObservatory.

Here we confirm experimentally the theoretical prediction5 that this type of quantum correlation is naturally produced in the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-waveObservatory (LIGO).

This paper presents an analysis of the transient behavior of the Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-waveObservatory) suspensions used to seismically isolate the optics.

So it was a genuine surprise when the first gravitational waves thrummed through detectors at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-WaveObservatory (LIGO) in September 2015.

On August 17, 2017 at 12∶41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wavedetectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral.
