Point defects in IBS coating for very low loss mirrors
Sihem Sayah, Benoît Sassolas, Jérôme Degallaix +4
High reflective coatings are used in many physics experiments. Despite the high quality of the opticalcoating, the performances of the mirrors is altered by the scattered light ind…
Amorphous optical coatings of present gravitational-wave interferometers
Massimo Granata, Alex Amato, Laurent Balzarini +10
We report on the results of an extensive campaign of optical and mechanical characterization of the ion-beam sputtered oxide layers (TaO, TiO, TaO-TiO, SiO$…
Observation of a Correlation Between Internal friction and Urbach Energy in Amorphous Oxides Thin Films
Alex Amato, Silvana Terreni, Massimo Granata +5
We have investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE, 190-1700 nm) the optical properties of uniform, amorphous thin films of Ta2O5 and Nb2O5 as deposited and after annealing, an…
