TAILIEUCHUNG - OPTICAL COATINGS AND THERMAL NOISE IN PRECISION MEASUREMENT

Thermal noise from optical coatings is a growing area of concern, and overcoming limits to the sensitivity of high-precision measurements by thermal noise is one of the greatest challenges faced by experimental physicists. In this timely book, internationally renowned scientists and engineers examine our current theoretical and experimental understanding. Beginning with the theory of thermal noise in mirrors and substrates, subsequent chapters discuss the technology of depositing coatings and state-of-the-art dielectric coating techniques used in precision measurement. Applications and remedies for noise reduction are also covered | OPTICAL COATINGS AND THERMAL NOISE IN PRECISION MEASUREMENT Thermal noise from optical coatings is a growing area of concern and overcoming limits to the sensitivity of high-precision measurements by thermal noise is one of the greatest challenges faced by experimental physicists. In this timely book internationally renowned scientists and engineers examine our current theoretical and experimental understanding. Beginning with the theory of thermal noise in mirrors and substrates subsequent chapters discuss the technology of depositing coatings and state-of-the-art dielectric coating techniques used in precision measurement. Applications and remedies for noise reduction are also covered. Individual chapters are dedicated to specific fields where coating thermal noise is a particular concern including the areas of quantum optics optomechanics gravitational wave detection precision timing high-precision laser stabilization via optical cavities and cavity quantum electrodynamics. While providing full mathematical detail the text avoids field-specific jargon making it a valuable resource for readers with varied backgrounds in modern optics. Gregory Harry has worked in the field of gravitational wave detection for over 15 years and is currently the Optics Chair and Coating Cognizant Scientist for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory LIGO and Professor at American University Washington DC. He is amongst the pioneers of coating thermal noise research. Timothy p. Bodiya is a graduate student at the Physics Department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is conducting research in the field of gravitational wave physics and quantum optomechanics with the goal of measuring quantum effects on everyday-sized objects gram to kilogram size . Riccardo DeSalvo is Professor at the University of Sannio in Benevento Italy. Previously he has held the positions of Senior Staff Scientist at LIGO Caltech Passadena and that of Staff Scientist at INFN in Pisa .
