LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Atomic Structure of Amorphous Optical Coatings of TiO-doped GeO by Grazing-Incidence Total X-ray Scattering Measurements
K. Prasai, J. Jiang, K. Lee +13
Reducing coating thermal noise in future gravitational-wave detectors requires identifying the atomic motifs that control mechanical loss in amorphous optical coatings. We combine…
Low thermal noise mirror coatings utilising titanium dioxide and germanium dioxide mixtures
M. Fazio, I. W. Martin, P. Hill +16
Upgrades to ground-based gravitational-wave observatories will require mirror coatings with reduced thermal noise, enabling improved detector sensitivity and extended astrophysical…
Optical and mechanical properties of ion-beam-sputtered MgF thin films for gravitational-wave interferometers
M. Granata, A. Amato, M. Bischi +14
Brownian thermal noise associated with highly reflective coatings is a fundamental limit for several precision experiments, including gravitational-wave detectors. Research is curr…
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…
Enhanced Medium Range Order in Vapor Deposited Germania Glasses at Elevated Temperatures
Le Yang, Gabriele Vajente, Mariana Fazio +9
Glasses are nonequilibrium solids with properties highly dependent on their method of preparation. In vapor-deposited molecular glasses, structural organization could be readily tu…
