Thermoelastic noise and homogeneous thermal noise in finite sized gravitational-wave test masses
An analysis is given of thermoelastic noise ~thermal noise due to thermoelastic dissipation! in finite sized test masses of laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors. Finite-size effects increase the thermoelastic noise by a modest amount; for example, for the sapphire test masses tentatively planned for LIGO-II and plausible beam-spot radii, the increase is &10 percent. As a side issue...
متن کاملApparatus for dimensional characterization of fused silica fibers for the suspensions of advanced gravitational wave detectors.
Detection of gravitational waves from astrophysical sources remains one of the most challenging problems faced by experimental physicists. A significant limit to the sensitivity of future long-baseline interferometric gravitational wave detectors is thermal displacement noise of the test mass mirrors and their suspensions. Suspension thermal noise results from mechanical dissipation in the fuse...
متن کاملExcess mechanical loss associated with dielectric mirror coatings on test masses in interferometric gravitational wave detectors
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors use mirrors whose substrates are formed from materials of low intrinsic mechanical dissipation. The two most likely choices for the test masses in future advanced detectors are fused silica or sapphire (Rowan S et a1 2000 Plzys. Lett. A 265 5). These test masses must be coated to form minors, highly reflecting at 1064 nm. We have measured the excess ...
متن کاملEstimation of thermal noise in the mirrors of laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors: Two point correlation function
A general formula and a computational scheme for estimating the power spectrum of the displacement correlation function of suspended test masses such as those used in interferometric gravitational wave detectors are presented. Unlike previous mode-summation approaches, the fluctuation-dissipation theorem has been applied directly to the displacement correlation. The resulting formula expresses ...
متن کاملThermo-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...
