Abstract
We analyze detector responses of gravitational wave detectors for gravitational waves with arbitrary polarizations predicted in the metric theories of gravity. We present the general formulas for the frequency responses valid in various interferometric arrangements including Michelson, Delay-Line and Fabry-Perot detectors. We analyze the angular and frequency behavior and the sensitivity patterns of the responses for each polarization mode.
