Characterization of ion-beam-sputtered AlF thin films for gravitational-wave interferometers
M. Bischi, A. Amato, M. Bazzan +13
Thermal noise in amorphous coatings is a limitation for a wide range of precision experiments such as gravitational-wave detectors (GWDs). Mirrors for GWDs are composed of multiple…

Measurement and simulation of mechanical and optical properties of sputtered amorphous SiC coatings
G. Favaro, A. Amato, F. Arciprete +15
In this work We report on the extensive characterization of amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) coatings prepared by physical deposition methods. We compare the results obtained on t…

Optical and mechanical properties of ion-beam-sputtered MgF thin films for gravitational-wave interferometers
M. Granata, A. Amato, M. Bischi +14
Brownian thermal noise associated with highly reflective coatings is a fundamental limit for several precision experiments, including gravitational-wave detectors. Research is curr…
