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…
Excess Mechanical Loss Associated with Dielectric Mirror Coatings on Test Masses in Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detectors
D. R. M. Crooks, P. Sneddon, G. Cagnoli +9
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors use mirrors whose substrates are formed from materials of low intrinsic mechanical dissipation. The two most likely choices for the tes…
