High Fidelity Probe and Mitigation of Mirror Thermal Fluctuations
<p>Thermal noise arising from mechanical loss in high reflective dielectric coatings is a significant source of noise in precision optical measurements. In particular, Advanced LIGO, a large scale interferometer aiming to observed gravitational wave, is expected to be limited by coating therma...
