1. Development of Amorphous-silicon-based Optical Coatings for Gravitational-wave Detectors

Author: Zhou, Ruinan
Subjects: Materials Science, Physics, Engineering, amorphous materials, gravitational-wave detection, materials characterization, physical vapor deposition, semiconductor materials
Abstract: The search for new coating materials, particularly high-refractive-index layers, is crucial in the field of interferometric gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. These detectors require coatings with low mechanical loss to minimize thermal noise and low optical absorption to maintain measurement stability and precision. The development of novel high-index coating materials with improved mechanical and optical properties has the potential to advance GW detection and enable more precise measurements of astrophysical phenomena.This study investigated the structural and mechanical properties of amorphous silicon (a-Si), hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), and amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) films deposited using magnetron sputtering (MS). The effects of deposition parameters, such as working gas, gas pressure, substrate temperature, and post-growth treatments including vacuum annealing and post-hydrogenation, were explored. The choice of working gas and its pressure, which influences the kinetic energy of the sputtered atoms upon arrival at the substrate, was found to significantly affect the properties of the deposited films. The impact of energetic incoming atoms is reflected in compressive film stress and film densification, a phenomenon known as the atomic peening effect. Additionally, a transition in dominant defects from nanovoids in e-beam a-Si to divacancies and self-interstitials in MS a-Si was observed, which can be attributed to the higher kinetic energy of incident atoms. By selecting appropriate working gas and deposition conditions, such as low gas pressure and high growth temperature, the structural order was improved, as indicated by lower bond angle deviation, and the mechanical loss of MS a-Si was reduced at both low temperatures and room temperature.Introduction of hydrogen to a-Si had a significant impact on its optical absorption at infrared wavelengths and the room-temperature mechanical loss. We propose that hydrogen plays a dual role in a-Si:H, acting as a passivating agent for dangling bonds, particularly at high temperatures, and facilitating structural relaxation, and the latter is responsible for the observed changes in the physical properties of a-Si:H. The incorporation of carbon in a-SiC films resulted in higher mechanical loss and optical absorption compared to pure a-Si films. These findings provide insights into the underlying mechanisms and offer potential solutions for optimizing the performance of a-Si-based coatings for GW detector mirrors.

Abstract: Fundamental observations in physics ranging from gravitational wave detection to laser cooling of a nanomechanical oscillator into its quantum ground state rely on the interaction between the optical and the mechanical degrees of freedom. A key parameter to engineer this interaction is the spatial overlap between the two fields, optimized in carefully designed resonators on a case-by-case basis. Disorder is an alternative strategy to confine light and sound at the nanoscale. However, it lacks an a priori mechanism guaranteeing a high degree of colocalization due to the inherently complex nature of the underlying interference processes. Here, we propose a way to address this challenge by using GaAs/AlAs vertical distributed Bragg reflectors with embedded geometrical disorder. Because of a remarkable coincidence in the physical parameters governing light and motion propagation in these two materials, the equations for both longitudinal acoustic waves and normal-incidence light become practically equivalent for excitations of the same wavelength. This guarantees spatial overlap between the electromagnetic and displacement fields of specific photon-phonon pairs, leading to strong light-matter interaction. In particular, a statistical enhancement in the vacuum optomechanical coupling rate, go, is found, making this system a promising candidate to explore Anderson localization of high frequency (∼20 GHz) phonons enabled by cavity optomechanics. The colocalization effect shown here unlocks the access to unexplored localization phenomena and the engineering of light-matter interactions mediated by Anderson-localized states., This work was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades (MICINN) via the Severo Ochoa Program (Grant No. SEV-2017-0706) and the project PHENTOM (Grant No. Fis 2015-70862-P) as well as by the Centres de Recerca de Catalunya (CERCA), and by the European Commission in the form of the H2020 FET open project PHENOMEN (Grant No. 713450).

3. Bayesian Inference Analysis of Unmodelled Gravitational-Wave Transients

Abstract: We report the results of an in-depth analysis of the parameter estimation capabilities of BayesWave, an algorithm for the reconstruction of gravitational-wave signals without reference to a specific signal model. Using binary black hole signals, we compare BayesWave's performance to the theoretical best achievable performance in three key areas: sky localisation accuracy, signal/noise discrimination, and waveform reconstruction accuracy. BayesWave is most effective for signals that have very compact time-frequency representations. For binaries, where the signal time-frequency volume decreases with mass, we find that BayesWave's performance reaches or approaches theoretical optimal limits for system masses above approximately 50 M_sun. For such systems BayesWave is able to localise the source on the sky as well as templated Bayesian analyses that rely on a precise signal model, and it is better than timing-only triangulation in all cases. We also show that the discrimination of signals against glitches and noise closely follow analytical predictions, and that only a small fraction of signals are discarded as glitches at a false alarm rate of 1/100 y. Finally, the match between BayesWave- reconstructed signals and injected signals is broadly consistent with first-principles estimates of the maximum possible accuracy, peaking at about 0.95 for high mass systems and decreasing for lower-mass systems. These results demonstrate the potential of unmodelled signal reconstruction techniques for gravitational-wave astronomy., 10 pages, 7 figures

4. Measurement uncertainty in pulsar timing array experiments

Abstract: Highly precise monitoring of arrival times of pulses from pulsars will allow for gravitational-wave detection in the nano-Hertz regime in the near future. Due to the complex nature of such pulsar-timing experiments and to the large number of effects that can affect these data (starting with magnetospheric effects at the pulsars themselves but extending across the entire signal path down to the final gravitational-wave detection algorithm), any treatment of the measurement uncertainties relevant to such a gravitational-wave detection has been lacking and incomplete so far. In this review, we provide an exhaustive description of the currently known influences on measurement precision in pulsar-timing experiments in general and in gravitational-wave detection through pulsar-timing specifically. While some of these effects remain poorly understood and largely unquantified at present, we discuss both analytic and observational quantifications where available.

Abstract: During the past few years a network of large-scale laser interferometers, including the Virgo detector, has been developed with the aim of detecting gravitational waves To properly operate the detectors, the longitudinal and angular positions of the suspended detector test masses, the interferometer mirrors, must be kept within a small range from the operating point.The design of the Virgo angular control system, called Automatic Alignment is based on a modified version of the Anderson-Giordano technique, a wave-front sensing scheme which uses the modulation-demodulation technique.This paper will present the theoretical background of the Virgo Automatic Alignment system, the implementation issues and the performances observed during the first Virgo science run (VSR1) A total RMS of 4 x 10(-2) to 3 x 10(-3) mu rad for all angular degrees of freedom has been achieved.

Abstract: Laser interferometric readout systems with 1pm √Hz precision over long time scales have successfully been developed for LISA and LISA Pathfinder. Future gravitational physics experiments, for example in the fields of gravitational wave detection and geodesy, will potentially require similar levels of displacement and tilt readouts of multiple test masses in multiple degrees of freedom. In this article we compare currently available classic interferometry schemes with new techniques using phase modulations and complex readout algorithms. Based on a simple example we show that the new techniques have great potential to simplify interferometric readouts. DFG/SFB/1128 International Max-Planck Research School (IMPRS)

Abstract: The world-wide network of km-scale laser interferometers is aiming at the detection of gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. The second generation of these instruments, called advanced detectors has been, or is in the process of being completed, and a first observational run with the Advanced LIGO interferometers has been performed late in 2015. The basic functionality of advanced detectors is discussed, along with specific features and status updates of the individual projects.

Abstract: Each mirror of the interferometric gravitational wave antenna Virgo is attached to a Superattenuator, a chain of mechanical filters designed to suppress seismic vibrations, starting from a few Hz. The filter chain attenuation has been measured by exciting its suspension point with sinuisodal forces and using the interferometer as sensor. The attenuation, measured at different frequencies, is compliant with the requirements of the next generation antenna Advanced Virgo. In the third generation detector Einstein Telescope, the attenuation is sufficient above 3 Hz, independently of the underground site choice. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: ASTROD I is a planned interplanetary space mission with multiple goals. The primary aims are: to test General Relativity with an improvement in sensitivity of over 3 orders of magnitude, improving our understanding of gravity and aiding the development of a new quantum gravity theory; to measure key solar system parameters with increased accuracy, advancing solar physics and our knowledge of the solar system and to measure the time rate of change of the gravitational constant with an order of magnitude improvement and the anomalous Pioneer acceleration, thereby probing dark matter and dark energy gravitationally. It is an international project, with major contributions from Europe and China and is envisaged as the first in a series of ASTROD missions. ASTROD I will consist of one spacecraft carrying a telescope, four lasers, two event timers and a clock. Two-way, two-wavelength laser pulse ranging will be used between the spacecraft in a solar orbit and deep space laser stations on Earth, to achieve the ASTROD I goals. A second mission, ASTROD II is envisaged as a three-spacecraft mission which would test General Relativity to one part per billion, enable detection of solar g-modes, measure the solar Lense-Thirring effect to 10 parts per million, and probe gravitational waves at frequencies below the LISA bandwidth. In the third phase (ASTROD III or Super-ASTROD), larger orbits could be implemented to map the outer solar system and to probe primordial gravitational-waves at frequencies below the ASTROD II bandwidth., Comment: 26 pages, 11 figures, shortened from the original cosmic vision proposal, submitted to Experimental Astronomy; this version, shortened to 25 pages, re-organized and added references, is accepted for publication in Experimental Astronomy

Abstract: The Virgo interferometer for gravitational wave detection has concluded four months of scientific data acquisition in its final optical configuration (a power-recycled interferometer with Fabry-Perot cavities in the arms). The lock acquisition technique developed to bring and keep the Virgo detector on its working point largely proved to be very efficient and robust. In this paper we describe the variable finesse lock acquisition technique and we discuss the performance of the whole locking system. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
