Modeling of Absorption from Surface Contamination of Dielectric Mirror

Document #:

LIGO-T0900182-v1

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

Model shows that an ETM - like dielectric mirror requires only ~ 1 E - 6 nm (one millionth of a nanometer ) of absorbing material (Cr was used for the study) to generate ppm level absorption.
