Thermo-optic noise in coated mirrors for high-precision optical measurements
Thermal fluctuations in the coatings used to make high reflectors are becoming significant noise sources in precision optical measurements and are particularly relevant to advanced gravitational-wave detectors. There are two recognized sources of coating thermal noise; mechanical loss and thermal dissipation. Thermal dissipation causes thermal fluctuations in the coating which produce noise via...
متن کاملPrecision Structure Function Measurements from Ccfr/nutev
New results from the CCFR Collaboration on the structure functions F2 and xF3 are presented. Neutrino scattering structure function measurements o er a unique tool to probe the strong interactions. The parity-violating structure function xF3(x;Q ) can only be measured in deep inelastic neutrino scattering. Precise measurements of the structure function F2(x;Q ) can also be obtained. The predict...
متن کاملCoherent cancellation of photothermal noise in GaAs/Al0.92Ga0.08As Bragg mirrors
Thermal noise is a limiting factor in many high-precision optical experiments. A search is underway for novel optical materials with reduced thermal noise. One such pair of materials, gallium arsenide and aluminum-alloyed gallium arsenide (collectively referred to as AlGaAs), shows promise for its low Brownian noise when compared to conventional materials such as silica and tantala. However, Al...
متن کامل2 00 6 Optical measurements of phase steps in segmented mirrors - fundamental precision limits
Phase steps are an important type of wavefront aberrations generated by large telescopes with segmented mirrors. In a closed-loop correction cycle these phase steps have to be measured with the highest possible precision using natural reference stars, that is with a small number of photons. In this paper the classical Fisher information of statistics is used for calculating the Cramér-Rao bound...
متن کاملStretch-tuneable dielectric mirrors and optical microcavities.
We demonstrate how tuneable Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs) and resonant micro-cavities can be built by a scalable layer assembly of the transparent utility rubbers polydimethylsiloxane and polystyrene-polyisoprene. Stretching the devices by more than 60% leads to an affine contraction of the layer thicknesses thereby tuning both DBR and cavity modes across the entire visible spectrum. Such...
