Mechanical Loss Angle Measurement for Stressed thin Film Using Cantilever Ring-Down Method

Mechanical loss of the coating materials, and hence thermal noise from the mirror coatings, is a limiting factor for the sensitivity of the laser interferometer gravitational waves detector at its most sensitive frequency range. Mechanical loss of the thin films are often measured using the cantilev...
