In recent years, with the development of stable and high-precision measurements, it is now available for human beings to observe gravitational waves based on interferometry. As a matter of fact, the first gravitational signal is obtained contemporarily based on the facility LIGO, which is actually a high-accuracy interferometer with an extremely large signal-noise ratio. On this basis and with this in mind, this study will detailly analyze the principle and detection results of the gravitational wave. To be specific, the state-of-the-art facilities LIGO as well as other advanced detection scenarios are estimated and evaluated with the introduction of the components, searching parameters as well as finding results based on the data retrieving. In addition, the obtained results are analyzed and the possible applications are also discussed. According to the analysis, the current limitations and prospects are proposed. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of gravitational wave detection.
