Coherent Cancellation of Photothermal Noise in GaAs/AlGaAs Bragg Mirrors
Tara Chalermsongsak, Evan D. Hall, Garrett D. Cole +7
Thermal noise is a limiting factor in many high-precision optical experiments. A search is underway for novel optical materials with reduced thermal noise. One such pair of materia…
Optical scatter of quantum noise filter cavity optics
Daniel Vander-Hyde, Claude Amra, Michel Lequime +3
Optical cavities to filter squeezed light for quantum noise reduction require optics with very low scattering losses. We report on measured light scattering from two super-polished…
Low scatter and ultra-low reflectivity measured in a fused silica window
Cinthia Padilla, Fabian Magaña-Sandoval, Erik Muniz +3
We investigate the reflectivity and optical scattering characteristics at 1064\,nm of an antireflection coated fused silica window of the type being used in the Advanced LIGO gravi…
Large-angle scattered light measurements for quantum-noise filter cavity design studies
Fabian Magaña-Sandoval, Rana Adhikari, Valera Frolov +5
Optical loss from scattered light could limit the performance of quantum-noise filter cavities being considered for an upgrade to the Advanced LIGO gravitational-wave detectors. Th…
