Results are now appearing from the first generation of long baseline gravitational wave detectors – LIGO, VIRGO, GEO 600 and TAMA 300 – that use laser interferometry for motion sensing. In this short review the current state of the field will be briefly discussed, and the prospects and plans for future instruments will be outlined.
