Excess Noise and Photoinduced Effects in Highly Reflective Crystalline Mirror Coatings

Thermodynamically induced length fluctuations of high-reflectivity mirror coatings put a fundamental limit on sensitivity and stability of precision optical interferometers like gravitational-wave detectors and ultrastable lasers. The main contribution—Brownian thermal noise—is related to the mechan...
