Structural evolution of binary oxide nanolaminates with annealing and its impact on room-temperature internal friction
Le Yang, Mariana Fazio, Gabriele Vajente +6
Internal friction in oxide thin films imposes a critical limitation to the sensitivity and stability of ultra-high finesse optical cavities for gravitational wave detectors. Strate…
Optical parametric oscillation in silicon carbide nanophotonics
Melissa A. Guidry, Ki Youl Yang, Daniil M. Lukin +4
Silicon carbide (SiC) is rapidly emerging as a leading platform for the implementation of nonlinear and quantum photonics. Here, we find that commercial SiC, which hosts a variety…
Structure and morphology of low mechanical loss TiO-doped TaO
Mariana Fazio, Gabriele Vajente, Alena Ananyeva +4
Amorphous oxide thin films play a fundamental role in state-of-the art interferometry experiments, such as gravitational wave detectors where these films compose the high reflectan…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
