We carried out a computer simulation of a large gravitational wave (GW) interferometer using the specifications of the LIGO instruments. We find that if in addition to the carrier, a single sideband offset from the carrier by the fsr frequency (the free spectral range of the arm cavities) is injected, it is equally sensitive to GW signals as is the carrier. The amplitude of the fsr sideband signal in the DC region is generally much less subject to noise than the carrier, and this makes possible the detection of periodic signals with frequencies well below the so-called seismic wall.
