LLC, 8123 Tuscany Avenue, Playa del Rey, California 90293, USA Both the
quintessential inflationary models (QIM) and some string cosmology
scenarios predict high energy density regions of relic gravitons in
the microwave band (108-1010Hz). There exist corresponding root mean
square values of metric perturbations of the relic gravitational
waves (GWs) in the region of approximatelyh~10-30-10-32.
A electromagnetic detecting system for these GWs is described in
which we measure the perturbative photon flux (PPF) or signal
generated by such high-frequency relic GWs (HFRGWs) via a coupling
system of fractal membranes and a Gaussian beam (GB) passing through
a static magnetic field. It is found that under the
synchro-resonance condition, the HFRGWs may produce the PPFs of
~102s-1 to 103s-1 in a surface of 10-2m2 area at the waist of the
GB. The PPF reflected or transmitted by the fractal membranes
exhibits a very small decay rate compared with the much stronger
background photon flux. We also discuss the system’s noise issues,
selection capability and directional sensitivity for the resonant
components from the stochastic relic GW background. This scheme
might provide a new means of detecting HFRGWs.
