Thermal charge carrier driven noise in transmissive semiconductor optics
F. F. Bruns, S. P. Vyatchanin, J. Dickmann +4
Several sources of noise limit the sensitivity of current gravitational wave detectors. Currently, dominant noise sources include quantum noise and thermal Brownian noise, but futu…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
Brownian Thermal Noise in Functional Optical Surfaces
S. Kroker, J. Dickmann, C. B. Rojas Hurtado +4
We present a formalism to compute Brownian thermal noise in functional optical surfaces such as grating reflectors, photonic crystal slabs or complex metamaterials. Such computatio…
Birefringence Measurements on Crystalline Silicon
Christoph Krüger, Daniel Heinert, Alexander Khalaidovski +4
Crystalline silicon has been proposed as a new test mass material in third generation gravitational wave detectors such as the Einstein Telescope (ET). Birefringence can reduce the…
Calculation of thermal noise in grating reflectors
Daniel Heinert, Stefanie Kroker, Daniel Friedrich +8
Grating reflectors have been repeatedly discussed to improve the noise performance of metrological applications due to the reduction or absence of any coating material. So far, how…
Scientific Objectives of Einstein Telescope
B. Sathyaprakash, M. Abernathy, F. Acernese +222
The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy. There is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detec…
