The possibility of using cryofiber interferometer as detector of gravitational waves

The history of the question on the possibility of detecting gravitational waves, whose existence is predicted by the General Relativity Theory, is briefly presented. The schemes of cryofiber interferometer, which we propose to use as detector of gravitational waves with amplitude |δgij| = 10−20, are described. We also consider other versions of the use of cryofiber interferometer in both applied and fundamental context, including laboratory experiments in which according to the estimates dark energy density variations can be detected. We describe briefly the optical scheme of a compact interferometric detector of vibrations of a mirror fixed at the end of a massive gravitational antenna; the compactness admits construction of a cryogenic version with cooling of all the elements of such a recording system.
