Thermal noise in interferometric gravitational wave detectors due to dielectric optical coatings
Gregory M. Harry, Andri M. Gretarsson, Peter R. Saulson +9
We report on thermal noise from the internal friction of dielectric coatings made from alternating layers of Ta2O5 and SiO2 deposited on fused silica substrates. We present calcula…
Excess Mechanical Loss Associated with Dielectric Mirror Coatings on Test Masses in Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detectors
D. R. M. Crooks, P. Sneddon, G. Cagnoli +9
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors use mirrors whose substrates are formed from materials of low intrinsic mechanical dissipation. The two most likely choices for the tes…
Thermal noise in half infinite mirrors with non-uniform loss: a slab of excess loss in a half infinite mirror
N. Nakagawa, A. M. Gretarsson, E. K. Gustafson +1
We calculate the thermal noise in half-infinite mirrors containing a layer of arbitrary thickness and depth made of excessively lossy material but with the same elastic material pr…
