  A suspension-point interferometer (SPI) is an auxiliary interferometer for
active vibration isolation, implemented at the suspension points of the mirrors
of an interferometric gravitational wave detector. We constructed a prototype
Fabry-Perot interferometer equipped with an SPI and observed vibration
isolation in both the spectrum and transfer function. The noise spectrum of the
main interferometer was reduced by 40 dB below 1 Hz. Transfer function
measurements showed that the SPI also produced good vibration suppression above
1 Hz. These results indicate that SPI can improve both the sensitivity and the
stability of the interferometer.
