Multimaterial coatings with reduced thermal noise

The most sensitive measurements of time and space are made with resonant optical cavities, and these measurements are limited by coating thermal noise. The mechanical and optical performance requirements placed on coating materials, especially for interferometric gravitational wave detectors, have p...
