Thermoelastic-damping noise from sapphire mirrors in a fundamental-noise-limited interferometer
Eric D. Black, Akira Villar, Kenneth G. Libbrecht
We report the first high-precision interferometer using large sapphire mirrors, and we present the first direct, broadband measurements of the fundamental thermal noise in these mi…

Direct Observation of Broadband Coating Thermal Noise in a Suspended Interferometer
Eric D. Black, Akira Villar, Kyle Barbary +10
We have directly observed broadband thermal noise in silica/tantala coatings in a high-sensitivity Fabry-Perot interferometer. Our result agrees well with the prediction based on i…
