Abstract

One of the significant limiting factors in gravitational wave detectors is the Brownian noise associated with the optical coatings [1], which are required to form the highly-reflective laser mirrors. UWS has a unique range of capabilities being used to help develop novel coating technology that can address this challenge, targeted for aLIGO+ and beyond.
