Fused Silica Research for Advanced LIGO Alexander Ageev, Gregg Harry, Jim Hough, Steve Penn, Sheila Rowan, Phil Willems

2 Overview Research has been conducted over the past several years to understand the fundamental loss mechanism in fused silica and produce extremely low loss FS optics suitable for Advanced LIGO. Experiments have been performed on fiber/rod samples over wide range of sizes reveal a clear surface loss dependence. Loss appears to be entirely in the surface. For each sample, loss also increases with frequency. Slowly “annealing” samples can lower loss, but not below the surface loss limit. BOB SAMPLE EXCITER

3 Surface Loss & Effects of Annealing 8 mm fiber Q = 80 million, before annealing Q = 200 million, after annealing LIGO Test mass, if surface loss limited Q (predicted) = 2 billion SURFACE LOSS

4 Frequency dependence of loss Willems has measured an Initial LIGO uncoated test mass in a low-loss suspension, Q = 120 million at 11 kHz. (This result is several times higher than any previous measurement on these masses. Suggests suspension losses in previous work.) Fit of frequency dependence predicts a Q = 170 million in LIGO frequency range. Required improvement in loss by annealing is small for large masses, thus low temperature anneal should be sufficient. Plot of highest Q’s measured in fused silica as a function of frequency.

5 Annealing: Benefits & Challenges Annealing can greatly lower the mechanical loss for samples above the surface loss limit, including superpolished samples. Low temperature anneals (600° C) yield large decrease in loss (≈ 10) for superpolished samples. (Standard Anneal temp. ≈ 11,000° C) Annealing could change surface figure, optical absorption, or silicate bonding to support structure. Cool down rate is geometry dependent and could be prohibitively long for Advanced LIGO masses.

6 Silica Research Plan Explore optimal annealing curve for flame-drawn rod samples and small superpolished disk samples as a function of geometry and peak temperature. Test dependence on annealing atmosphere and type of fused silica. Test annealed superpolished disks for changes in surface figure, contamination, and optical absorption. If repolishing is required, measure the effect on the mechanical loss. Test impact of annealing on the silicate bonds connecting the “ears” to the test mass. Test optimize annealing procedure on LIGO-sized uncoated optics.
