A device for measuring changes in the flow of time, capable of detecting
gravitational
waves, is disclosed. The device consists of an array of coherent light sources
(such as
lasers) with optical spectrum analyzers located in the center. The lasers are
located as
far away from each other as possible and are connected to the Optical Spectrum
Analyzers through a fiber optic network. The optical spectrum analyzers
continuously
measure the frequency output of each laser and send the results to analogue to
digital
converters. The output of the Analogue to Digital converters is then stored on
a multi--track
storage device for subsequent signal processing.
