Current Status
Coating Development» Focus on finding material or process that yield low loss coating» Need an order of magnitude reduction in loss
Sapphire Development» Focus on learning enough for the down-select decision» LASTI/Pathfinder is looming - we’re prepared
Measurement and Handling Infrastructure» Happening in the background – sort of

3LIGO-G020427-00-D
Current StatusCoating Development
- Analyzed silica/tantala coatings and have a good understanding of the loss in them. » Dominated by the tantala» Same on both thin and thick substrates» Seems to be the same from both SMA/Virgo and MLD (although we
have only studied one coating from MLD).

4LIGO-G020427-00-D
Current StatusCoating - Continued
Loss about an order of magnitude too high for advanced LIGO.
Unable to reproduce the low loss seen in the General Optics alumina/tantala coating (the coatings we looked at from MLD and Wave Precision were lossier than the silica/tantala)
Although still in progress, data to date suggests that silica/niobia coatings are no better than silica/tantala

Current StatusSapphire Development
Focus on Down-Select, hot topics:» Size – Requirement is met» Absorption – Requirement is not met» Homogeneity – Can be met with compensating polish» Internal Scatter – Measure on large pieces» Birefringence – Needs work» Thermal Noise – Measure Q on large pieces

Current StatusMeasurement, Handling & Cleaning
Measurement» Planning absorption and scatter measurement on a large scale at
CIT» Contamination testing is ongoing» Surface figure metrology is on hold
Handling» Large Optic “handler” is being made at Caltech – under
construction» Carrier development has not been started
Cleaning» Cleaning equipment/development is on hold

7LIGO-G020427-00-D
Plans for 2003Coating
Coating Development» Explore silica/alumina coatings, as each material has separately
been seen to have low loss. » Explore the effects of annealing as well as other coater dependant
parameters like beam energy.» Measure Q on coatings deposited on sapphire substrates.

8LIGO-G020427-00-D
Plans for 2003Sapphire
Sapphire» Measure first two full size blanks from Crystal Systems
– Absorption, Q, Homogeneity– Whatever else the down-select committee throws our way
» Resolve the a vs. m-axis homogeneity question by measuring a cube
» Continue work to lower absorption (Stanford)» Explore properties of coated sapphire» Investigate additional material supplier
– Material has been ordered, Polish and test Scatter, absorption, homogeneity

10LIGO-G020427-00-D
Risks & Opportunities - I
Coating Loss» Can tell exactly how bad things are and why, but no solutions yet.
– If silica/alumina is not a solution, we will have to start looking at different ideas.– The use of doped tantala is being explored at SMA/Virgo. If they have success
with it, we will pursue it as well. » The issue of coatings on sapphire is understudied.
– We assume coatings will have the same or similar loss on sapphire as on silica, little data to support this.
– May not have enough usable samples to fully explore this issue.» Modeling needed to turn coating phi's into thermal noise is not complete.
– The effect of finite mirror size isn't included. – Could significantly impact our goals. – There is interest in working on this, although progress is slow.

11LIGO-G020427-00-D
Risks & Opportunities - II
The “hats” - top hat beams on Mexican hat mirrors» Used only if Sapphire is selected» Probably possible to make… still investigating tolerance
Large sapphire may not have the same properties or behaviors as we have measured in small samples» Absorption, or response to thermal treatment for absorption» Q
Fused silica still needs examination» Peter Fritchel has observed that with 100 million Q, silica is
reasonably competitive with sapphire from a thermal noise standpoint
» Possible annealing studies…

12LIGO-G020427-00-D
Schedule Issues
Unlikely to have a coating chosen by 12-02, as scheduled for the LASTI noise optics.» Should make the end of 2005 when we will have to coat the optics
for the sites. Down-Select/LASTI drives the schedule
» May 03 is the current DS date » LASTI optics still deliverable
Metrology put off due to budget concerns. » Current 150 mm dia aperture is “good enough” for our current
needs.» Should be in place 1 year before “fab” substrates arrive, about the
time we place orders for blanks

Staffing Baseline and IssuesCoating – 3.28 FTE, 11 people +
“The rate limiting step in coating research is coating not measurement” -G. Harry– At MIT
Gregg Harry 1/2 FTE, Joe Betzweiser 1/4 FTE, Mike Mortonson 1/8 FTE, and Chris Vassiliou 1/8 FTE.
– At Hobart and William Smith Steve Penn is about 1/2 of his research time, or about 1/4 FTE on this project. Some
of his time will be spent at Syracuse University, but he is the only person in central NY working on coating Q.
– At Stanford Sheila Rowan is 1/3 FTE, with Marty Fejer and Roger Route about 5%.
» Norio Nakagawa is being recruited for thermal noise modeling. He does not currently have a grant to do advanced LIGO work, so things are being arranged through Stanford. I understand that he wants to work on this. May use Kip Thorne Student as a back-up
– At Glasgow Peter Sneddon is 1 FTE, David Crooks is 1/2 FTE, and Jim Hough is 10%.
– At Caltech Helena Armandula, officially 0, best guess 0.3
