Progress and Challenges Developing a Coating for Next Generation Gravitational-wave Detectors

Advanced long-baseline gravitational-wave interferometers use ion-beam deposited multilayer dielectric coatings. To minimize the detector noise, these coatings have very low optical absorption, low mechanical loss and a low index of refraction change with temperature.
