Squeezing Light and Filter cavity Squeezed vacuum injection is one of promising way to reduce the detector noises. As a R&D activity for beyond the KAGRA detector, we have a plan to develop the filter cavity at TAMA.
Rough design of the filter cavity Cavity pole freq. = 40Hz Roundtrip Loss < 1ppm/m Cavity length 10m 300m Finesse 4E+5 4E+4 Mirror reflectance5N=99.999% 4N=99.99% Cavity Loss 10ppm 300ppm
Low loss mirror developments NAOJ and UEC (Univ. of Electro-Communications) collaborate with Japanese coating companies for low-loss mirror coating developments.
Cross section of the multi-layered coating The films have clear edges. Each layer is dense and uniform. Pictures are taken by TEM microscope in Univ. of Tokyo

Scattering Loss world top class quality! Ave.8.0ppm coated by SigmaKoki
Damage Threshold At least the best performance in Japan 446 J/cm2 with 10nsec pulse 44.6 GW/cm2(peak power density) This is tolerance for one shot pulse. KAGRA IOO requires high power density (> 1 MW/cm2) tolerance for 10 year continuous operation.
SUMMARY Recent few years we develop low-loss mirror with Japanese companies. By using the mirror the filter cavity tests at TAMA are planned.
