High quality factor measured in fused silica

چکیده
We have measured the mechanical dissipation in a sample of fused silica drawn into a rod. The sample was hung from a multiple-bob suspension, which isolated it from rubbing against its support, from recoil in the support structure, and from seismic noise. The quality factor, Q, was measured for several modes with a high value of 57 million found for mode number 2 at 726 Hz. This result is about a factor 2 higher than previous room temperature measurements. The measured Q was strongly dependent on handling, with a pristine flame-polished surface yielding a Q 3–4 times higher than a surface which had been knocked several times against a copper tube.

Dissipation of Mechanical Energy in Fused Silica Fibers
To determine the dissipation induced by the surface of fused silica fibers, we measured the quality factor of fibers having various diameters. We measured a maximum quality factor of 21 million and extrapolated to obtain an intrinsic quality factor for fused silica of 29 million. Dissipation in the surface dominated at diameters less than about 1 mm. We developed a method for characterizing sur...
متن کاملInvestigations of the Dynamics and Mechanical Dissipation of a Fused Silica Suspension
(Dated: March 13, 2002) The quality factor (Q) of a violin mode of a fiber under tension is related to the Q of the unloaded fiber by the dilution factor. We calculate this dilution factor from measurements of the Q’s and compare to measurements based on the shift of the violin mode frequencies with temperature, and to theoretical predictions. We also report supporting measurements of the tempe...

متن کاملSystematic measurement of the intrinsic losses in various kinds of bulk fused silica
We systematically measured and compared the mechanical losses of various kinds of bulk fused silica. Their quality factors ranged widely from 7 × 10 to 4 × 10, the latter being one of the highest reported among bulk fused silica. We observed frequency-dependent losses and a decrease in the losses upon annealing. PACS numbers: 05.40.Jc; 04.80.Nn ∗Electronic address: [email protected]....

Using high-intensity femtosecond pulses at l5264 nm, we have measured the two-photon absorption ~TPA! coefficient in three fused silica samples Suprasil, Herasil, Infrasil ~Heraeus! and in 3.5 mol % Ge-doped fused silica. While in fused silica samples the TPA coefficient value is about 2310 cm/W, in germanosilicate glass it equals (4263)310 cm/W. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1...
