ESA's LISA Pathfinder mission (2015-2017) proved that the technology needed for LISA is feasible. One of the technologies under study was the interferometric readout of the test mass displacement and orientation, which has performance characteristics very similar to those needed for LISA.
In this talk, we will give more details on the excellent interferometer performance under a variety of operating conditions, testing our understanding. This extends to angular readouts (DWS) and includes the findings of our long-term analysis.
