This project aims to enhance gravitational wave detection by developing coating-free mirrors using ion implantation techniques. By creating a highly-reflective multilayer structure within silicon substrates, it seeks to reduce thermal noise, enabling more sensitive observations of distant cosmic events.
The first detection of gravitational waves, and in particular the observation of merging black holes, which otherwise appear 'dark', has been one of the most exciting scientific achievements of the last decades.
With the next generation of even more sensitive detectors, we plan to be able to see gravitational waves from objects as far away as the edge of the observable universe.
However, a major limitation to the sensitivity of these detectors is the thermal noise of their core components: the h…
