Figure 1: Light from a laser is split into two beams, each injected into an arm formed by pairs of
free-falling mirrors. Since the length of the two arms, 
and 
, are different, now the light
beams from the two arms are not recombined at one photo detector. Instead each is separately made
to interfere with the light that is injected into the arms. Two distinct photo detectors are now used,
and phase (or frequency) fluctuations are then monitored and recorded there.
