All-polarisation beamsplitters for interferometer applications
S. L. Kranzhoff, Z. Van Ranst, J. De Bolle +9
Optical beamsplitters with similar properties for orthogonal, linear polarisation modes are required for realising polarisation-based speedmeter schemes to reduce back-action noise…
Mapping the Optical Absorption of a Substrate-Transferred Crystalline AlGaAs Coating at 1.5um
Jessica Steinlechner, Iain W Martin, Angus Bell +5
The sensitivity of 2nd and 3rd generations of interferometric gravitational wave detectors will be limited by thermal noise of the test-mass mirrors and highly reflective coatings.…
Optical Absorption Measurements on Crystalline Silicon at 1550nm
Jessica Steinlechner, Christoph Krüger, Nico Lastzka +3
Crystalline silicon is currently being discussed as test-mass material for future generations of gravitational wave detectors that will operate at cryogenic temperatures. We presen…
