Low mechanical loss TiO:GeO coatings for reduced thermal noise in Gravitational Wave Interferometers
Gabriele Vajente, Le Yang, Aaron Davenport +11
The sensitivity of current and planned gravitational wave interferometric detectors is limited, in the most critical frequency region around 100 Hz, by a combination of quantum noi…

Point absorbers in Advanced LIGO
Aidan F. Brooks, Gabriele Vajente, Hiro Yamamoto +198
Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nano-meter scale thermo-elastic deformations a…
