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…

Thermal noise in interferometric gravitational wave detectors due to dielectric optical coatings
Gregory M. Harry, Andri M. Gretarsson, Peter R. Saulson +9
We report on thermal noise from the internal friction of dielectric coatings made from alternating layers of Ta2O5 and SiO2 deposited on fused silica substrates. We present calcula…
