Widefield Spectroscopic Telescope (WST): coating strategy to achieve high optical throughput
Benoit Sassolas, Matthieu Coulon, Christophe Michel +4
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a 12-m class facility designed for simultaneous wide-field multi-object and integral-field spectroscopy across 370-1600 nm, targetin…
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…
Progress in the measurement and reduction of thermal noise in optical coatings for gravitational-wave detectors
Massimo Granata, Alex Amato, Gianpietro Cagnoli +8
Coating thermal noise is a fundamental limit for precision experiments based on optical and quantum transducers. In this review, after a brief overview of the techniques for coatin…
