Experimental Realization of Optimized Ternary Mirror Coatings
V. Pierro, M. Granata, C. Michel +9
We report on the first experimental realization of multi-material dielectric mirror coatings designed through a multi-objective optimization algorithm to simultaneously minimize th…
Comparison of arm cavity optical losses for the two wavelengths of the Einstein Telescope gravitational wave detector
Maxime Le Jean, Jerome Degallaix, David Hofman +8
A new generation of gravitational wave detectors is currently being designed with the likely use of a different laser wavelength compared to current instruments. The estimation of…
Development of ion-beam sputtered silicon nitride thin films for low-noise mirror coatings of gravitational-wave detectors
A. Amato, M. Bazzan, G. Cagnoli +32
Brownian thermal noise of thin-film coatings is a fundamental limit for high-precision experiments based on optical resonators such as gravitational-wave interferometers. Here we p…
TiO2 doping effect on reflective coating mechanical loss for gravitational wave detection at low temperature
Yukino Mori, Yota Nakayama, Kazuhiro Yamamoto +6
We measured the mechanical loss of a dielectric multilayer reflective coating (ion-beam-sputtered SiO2 and Ta2O5) with and without TiO2 on sapphire disks between 6 and 77 K. The me…
Characterization of ion-beam-sputtered AlF thin films for gravitational-wave interferometers
M. Bischi, A. Amato, M. Bazzan +13
Thermal noise in amorphous coatings is a limitation for a wide range of precision experiments such as gravitational-wave detectors (GWDs). Mirrors for GWDs are composed of multiple…
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…
