Minimization of Coating Thermal Noise in TiO2:GeO2 and SiO2 High Reflector Stacks for Gravitational Wave Detectors
Combining multilayer stack design, ion beam sputtered deposition process and annealing steps we demonstrate high reflectors for gravitational wave detectors operating at λ=1064 nm with low coating thermal noise and excellent optical properties.
