Audio-band Coating Thermal Noise Measurement for Advanced LIGO with a Multi-mode Optical Resonator

S. Gras, H. Yu, W. Yam, D. Martynov, M. Evans

摘要:

在现代高精度光学仪器中,例如在引力波探测器或频率基准中,反射涂层中的热致波动可以是限制噪声源。这种噪声称为涂层热噪声,可以通过选择具有低机械损耗的材料来降低。为了进一步降低涂层热噪声,从而提高下一代仪器的灵敏度,有必要对新材料进行研究。提出了一种利用多个厄米-高斯模共谐振的高精细度折叠腔直接测量涂层热噪声的新方法。该方法用于探测频率范围为30-400 Hz的10^-17 m \rtHz量级的表面波动。我们应用这种技术来测量先进LIGO中使用的涂层的热噪声和损耗角。

英文摘要:

In modern high precision optical instruments, such as in gravitational wave detectors or frequency references, thermally induced fluctuations in the reflective coatings can be a limiting noise source. This noise, known as coating thermal noise, can be reduced by choosing materials with low mechanical loss. Examination of new materials becomes a necessity in order to further minimize the coating thermal noise and thus improve sensitivity of next generation instruments. We present a novel approach to directly measure coating thermal noise using a high finesse folded cavity in which multiple Hermite-Gaussian modes co-resonate. This method is used to probe surface fluctuations on the order 10^-17 m\rtHz in the frequency range 30-400 Hz. We applied this technique to measure thermal noise and loss angle of the coating used in Advanced LIGO.
