Description

In this paper, we introduce the work on hardware and software built to manage the optical bench which hosts the optical squeezer source at the Virgo site in Cascina. In the past, the ex- perimental setup implemented frequency-independent squeezing and it will be soon recongured in order to implement frequency-dependent squeezing via EPR entanglement for Virgo gravitational- wave detector. Furthermore we introduce an idea of automation for this prototypic subsystem in order to deliver a compact and robust apparatus which does not require surveillance of an operator.
