AlAs/GaAs layer structure optimized for TO |

I'm computing coating Brownian and thermo optic noise (TO) in AlGaAs coatings using GWINC code to compare it with the result reported by G Cole etal. Brownian noise from my result is similar to theirs, but TO noise is still not correct. I'm working on it.
==Background==
We have talked about what kind optimizations should we go for AlGaAs coatings in order to minimize TO noise. There are two choices for us to consider
- using the layer structure as proposed in T1200003, or
- adding a half wavelength cap on top of the quarter wave stack coatings as suggested by the authors.
Since the second option is more desirable in terms of manufacturing because of its simplicity, I decided to check if it really can bring TO noise below coating Brownian noise. If it is true, we can use it for our mirrors.
==calculation==
- I use GWINC code for TO noise and brownian noise calculations to verify the result if they are agree or not.
- Materials parameters used in the calculation are taken from the paper. But most of the coatings material properties of an individual layer of AlxGa1-xAs are not provided. There are only the average values of thermal expansion, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, dn/dT. There are refractive indices (nh/nl = 3.48/2.977) and layer structure (81 layers, starts with nh, ends with nh). So, as a start, the values for high index material and low index material are the same as the averaged values.
==result==
- My Coating thermal noise level is 8.4*10^-35 m^2/Hz while their result is 9.8 *10^-35 m^2/Hz, @ 1Hz. This is not very bad, since there are some differences in the formulas between GWINC and their calcualtion.
- However, my TO is off the roof, almost 2 orders of magnitude above their result. I'm checking if it is because of the code is wrong(typo in the parameters) or the fact that I used all the averaged values.
(I'll add more details about the calculations later) |
