Progress in the measurement and reduction of thermal noise in optical coatings for gravitational-wave detectors

Massimo Granata, Alex Amato, Gianpietro Cagnoli +8

Coating thermal noise is a fundamental limit for precision experiments based on optical and quantum transducers. In this review, after a brief overview of the techniques for coatin…

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 (Ta $_{2}$ O $_{5}$ , TiO $_{2}$ , Ta $_{2}$ O $_{5}$ -TiO $_{2}$ , SiO$…
