Exploration of co-sputtered TaO-ZrO thin films for gravitational-wave detectors
M. Abernathy, A. Amato, A. Ananyeva +45
We report on the development and extensive characterization of co-sputtered tantala-zirconia thin films, with the goal to decrease coating Brownian noise in present and future grav…

Optical and mechanical properties of ion-beam-sputtered NbO and TiO-NbO thin films for gravitational-wave interferometers
N. Demos, M. Granata, S. Gras +10
Brownian thermal noise associated with highly-reflective mirror coatings is a fundamental limit for several precision experiments, including gravitational-wave detectors. Recently,…
