Titania-doped tantala/silica coatings for gravitational-wave detection
Gregory M. Harry, Matthew R. Abernathy, Andres E. Becerra-Toledo +23
Reducing thermal noise from optical coatings is crucial to reaching the required sensitivity in next generation interferometric gravitational-waves detectors. Here we show that add…
Thermoelastic dissipation in inhomogeneous media: loss measurements and displacement noise in coated test masses for interferometric gravitational wave detectors
M. M. Fejer, S. Rowan, G. Cagnoli +7
The displacement noise in the test mass mirrors of interferometric gravitational wave detectors is proportional to their elastic dissipation at the observation frequencies. In this…
Mechanical Loss in Tantala/Silica Dielectric Mirror Coatings
Steven D. Penn, Peter H. Sneddon, Helena Armandula +13
Current interferometric gravitational wave detectors use test masses with mirror coatings formed from multiple layers of dielectric materials, most commonly alternating layers of S…
