Description
The methods currently used and the results achieved in Virgo for the reduction of the quantum shot noise through the use of frequency-independent squeezed light sources will be reviewed. In the second part of the presentation it will be described the ongoing R&D activity aimed for the realization of a frequency dependent squeezed light source for Advanced Virgo Plus. The use of this source should allow, starting from the next scientific run, to obtain a reduction of the detector quantum noise on the whole detection band.
