Measurements of a low temperature mechanical dissipation peak in a single layer of Ta2O5 doped with TiO2
I Martin, H Armandula, C Comtet +19
Thermal noise arising from mechanical dissipation in oxide coatings is a major limitation to many precision measurement systems, including optical frequency standards, high resolut…
Effects of mode degeneracy in the LIGO Livingston Observatory recycling cavity
Andri M. Gretarsson, Erika D'Ambrosio, Valery Frolov +2
We analyze the electromagnetic fields in a Pound-Drever-Hall locked, marginally unstable, Fabry-Perot cavity as a function of small changes in the cavity length during resonance. M…
Thermoelastic dissipation in inhomogeneous media: loss measurements and displacement noise in coated test masses for interferometric gravitational wave detectors
M. M. Fejer, S. Rowan, G. Cagnoli +7
The displacement noise in the test mass mirrors of interferometric gravitational wave detectors is proportional to their elastic dissipation at the observation frequencies. In this…
Mechanical Loss in Tantala/Silica Dielectric Mirror Coatings
Steven D. Penn, Peter H. Sneddon, Helena Armandula +13
Current interferometric gravitational wave detectors use test masses with mirror coatings formed from multiple layers of dielectric materials, most commonly alternating layers of S…
