Precise Measurement of Refractive Indices in Thin Film Heterostructures
Lukas W. Perner, Gar-Wing Truong, David Follman +5
We present a robust, precise, and accurate method to simultaneously measure the refractive indices of two transparent materials within an interference coating. This is achieved by…
Substrate-transferred GaAs/AlGaAs crystalline coatings for gravitational-wave detectors: A review of the state of the art
G. D. Cole, S. Ballmer, G. Billingsley +16
In this Perspective we summarize the status of technological development for large-area and low-noise substrate-transferred GaAs/AlGaAs (AlGaAs) crystalline coatings for interferom…
Study on electro-optic noise in crystalline coatings toward future gravitational wave detectors
Satoshi Tanioka, Daniel Vander-Hyde, Garrett D. Cole +2
Thermal noise in high-reflectivity mirror coatings is a limiting factor in ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Reducing this coating thermal noise improves the sensitivity o…
Surpassing the Standard Quantum Limit using an Optical Spring
Torrey Cullen, Scott Aronson, Ron Pagano +9
Quantum mechanics places noise limits and sensitivity restrictions on physical measurements. The balance between unwanted backaction and the precision of optical measurements impos…
Passive Laser Power Stabilization via an Optical Spring
Torrey Cullen, Scott Aronson, Ron Pagano +8
Metrology experiments can be limited by the noise produced by the laser involved via small fluctuations in the laser's power or frequency. Typically, active power stabilization sch…
Near-Infrared Scanning Cavity Ringdown for Optical Loss Characterization of Supermirrors
Gar-Wing Truong, Georg Winkler, Tobias Zederbauer +6
A cavity ringdown system for probing the spatial variation of optical loss across high-reflectivity mirrors is described. This system is employed to examine substrate-transferred c…
