  • Building blocks for future detectors: Silicon test masses and 1550 nm laser light 
    Schnabel, Roman; Britzger, M.; Brückner, F.; Burmeister, O.; Danzmann, Karsten; Dück, J.; Eberle, Tobias; Friedrich, Daniel; Lück, Harald; Mehmet, Moritz; Nawrodt, Ronny; Steinlechner, S.; Willke, Benno (Bristol : IOP Publishing Ltd., 2010)
    Current interferometric gravitational wave detectors use the combination of quasi-monochromatic, continuous-wave laser light at 1064 nm and fused silica test masses at room temperature. Detectors of the third generation, ...
  • Comparison of the thermal stability of single Al2O3 layers and Al2O3/SiNx stacks for the surface passiviation of silicon 
    Veith, Boris; Werner, Florian; Zielke, Dimitri; Brendel, Rolf; Schmidt, Jan (Amsterdam : Elsevier BV, 2011)
    We measure surface recombination velocities (SRVs) below 10 cm/s on low-resistivity (1.4 Ωcm) p-type crystalline silicon wafers passivated with plasma-assisted and thermal atomic layer deposited (ALD) aluminium oxide (Al2O3) ...
  • Laser cooling a membrane-in-the-middle system close to the quantum ground state from room temperature 
    Saarinen, Sampo A.; Kralj, Nenad; Langman, Eric C.; Tsaturyan, Yeghishe; Schliesser, Albert (Washington, DC : Optica, 2023)
    Many protocols in quantum science and technology require initializing a system in a pure quantum state. In the context of the motional state of massive resonators, this enables studying fundamental physics at the elusive ...
  • Laser interferometry with translucent and absorbing mechanical oscillators 
    Friedrich, Daniel; Kaufer, Henning; Westphal, Tobias; Yamamoto, K.; Sawadsky, Andreas; Ya Khalili, F.; Danilishin, S.L.; Goßler, Stefan; Danzmann, Karsten; Schnabel, Roman (Bristol : IOP Publishing Ltd., 2011)
    The sensitivity of laser interferometers can be pushed into regimes that enable the direct observation of the quantum behaviour of mechanical oscillators. In the past, membranes with subwavelength thickness (thin films) ...
