Description

Although based upon a well established theory, gravitational wave detection was seen as an exotic research. Nowadays, observational astrophysics is strongly dependent on the technology advancements meant to further improve the sensitivity of present detectors.
The path that drove to the present scenario and the overall perspective
about the main features of the various detectors, including the most
demanding challenges, will be presented.
