  8. 2. Short term upgrades Room temperature second generation interferometer Fused silica mirror with IBS coating suspended by fused silica fibers This has long history since GEO started development and is enough mature.

  9. 3. Thermal noise modelling 3-1. Thermal noise model of reflective coating Coating itself is complicate system which consist of two kinds of material layers. Model construction is not easy. For example, does loss between layers matter ? NO : S.D. Penn et. al., Classical and Quantum Gravity 20(2003)2917. YES (partially): M. Granata et. al., GWADW2012 https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-G1200618/public Current models, Limitations and possible improvements, Open questions. I. Pinto : Modelling the thermal noise 9 9 9 9

  10. 3. Thermal noise modelling 3-1. Thermal noise model of reflective coating For example, does friction between layers matter ? YES (partially): M. Granata et. al., GWADW2012 https://dcc.ligo.org/LIGO-G1200618/public 10 10 10 10

  11. 3. Thermal noise modelling 3-2. Non thermal equilibrium steady state Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem Relation between thermal noise and loss It is valid if the system is in thermal equilibrium. However, it could not be true in some cases. Some system is in steady state, but not thermal equilibrium. Example : Room temperature interferometer Temperature gradient in mirror Laser beam absorption Thermal Compensation System 11 11 11 11

  12. 3. Thermal noise modelling 3-2. Non thermal equilibrium steady state Example : Cryogenic temperature interferometer KAGRA mirror suspended by sapphire fibers Heat absorbed in mirror flows along fibers. Temperature gradient in fibers. D. Chen 16 K 22 K 12 12 12 12

  13. 3. Thermal noise modelling 3-2. Non thermal equilibrium steady state How much is it different from the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem ? How do we “improve” Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem ? L. Conti : Thermal noise and Non-Equilibrium effects 13 13 13 13

  14. 3. Thermal noise modelling 3-2. Non thermal equilibrium steady state L. Conti : Thermal noise and Non-Equilibrium effects L. Conti et al., Classical and Quantum Gravity 27 (2010)084032. L. Conti et al., Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment (2013)P12003. 14 14 14 14

  15. 4. Towards cryogenic detector Cryogenic is one of methods to reduce thermal noise. Amplitude of thermal noise is proportional to (T/Q)1/2 15 15 15 15 15

  21. 4. Towards cryogenic detector Thermal fluctuation of vertical motion of suspended mirror is an issue. S. Reid: DLC coated silicon cantilever blade springs for improved vertical suspension thermal noise performance for future GW detectors 21 21 21 21 21

  22. 5. Cryogenics and Materials Cryogenic interferometer sounds attractive. However , there are some open issues. Cooling technologies should be considered carefully (operating temperature, cooling time, open questions …). K. Yamamoto : Cryogenic interferometer technologies 22 22 22 22 22

  23. 5. Cryogenics and Materials Room temperature second generation interferometer Fused silica mirror suspended by fused silica fibers (amorphous) This suspension is not a good for cryogenics because of large mechanical dissipation and low thermal conductivity at low temperature Other material with small dissipation and high thermal conductivity Sapphire or Silicon (Crystal) 23 23 23 23 23 23

  25. 5. Cryogenics and Materials Absorption in mirror is a crucial issue (In the worst case, mirror can not be cooled !) J. Degallaix: Optical Absorption on substrates 25

  26. 6. Flatter beams Larger beam is one of method to reduce thermal noise. When beam is larger, thermal fluctuation in wider area is averaged. Since correlation between fluctuation at two points is smaller when the distance is longer. (Exception : Thermoelastic noise at low temperature. Correlation is almost perfect because of extremely high thermal conductivity) 26 26 26 26 26 26

  28. 7. Coatings 20 years ago … Nobody cared coating thermal noise because it is 10000 times thinner than mirror thickness. However, Levin’s breakthrough paper pointed out it could be an issue ! Y. Levin, Physical Review D 57(1998)659. Analytical and numerical calculations and measurement show it should be an issue ! G.M. Harry et al., Classical and Quantum Gravity 19(2002)897. N. Nakagawa et al., Physical Review D 65(2002)102001. K. Yamamoto et al., Physics Letters A 305(2002)18. 28 28 28 28 28 28

  29. 7. Coatings First observation of thermal noise by coating K. Numata et al., Physical Review Letters 91 (2003) 260602 29 29 29 29 29 29

  30. 7. Coatings The book about coating thermal noise was published on 2012 ! Cambridge University Press 30 30 30 30 30 30

  31. 7. Coatings Progress in the last 20 years Many people investigated conventional dielectric multilayer coating (IBS). The loss angle is on the same order of magnitude (10-4) even if coating is cooled. Crystalline coating has much smaller loss (10-5), but open questions for large mirror. G.
