• Extremely sensitive Michelson interferometer, several noise sources• Main topic: Brownian thermal noise arising from the
mechanical loss of the materials (currently fused silica)for the optics, the test masses, and their suspensions.

Mechanical loss of fused silica vs. silicon & sapphire
The mechanical loss of fused silica strongly increases when being cooled down.Much more suitable are single crystalline materials like silicon or sapphire.For KAGRA, IMs and EMs will be made of sapphire.In ET-LF they will be made of silicon.

future gravitational wave detectors, in Proceedings of ICEC22-ICMC2008 (2009)]

Akhiezer damping in bulk sapphire
Loss peak at 35 K is linked to Akhiezer loss (interaction of acoustic and thermal phonons) as follows:
where .[A. Akhieser: On the absorption of sound in solids. Journal of Physics (1939)][V. B. Braginskyet al.: Systems with Small Dissipation.The University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London (1985)]
… heat capacity, … solid‘s speed of sound
… heat conductivity, and … density of material.
Akhiezer loss can not be overcome thus it is an intrinsic limit.0 30 60 90 120 15010-9

Thermo elastic damping in sapphire fibers
Thermo elastic damping (TED) occurs from irreversible heat flow between compressed and strechted areas of the fiber.The loss is given by:

• Again: TED above seems to limit the loss• Low temperature behaviour is not cleared and under investigation

Thermal conductivity of sapphire
• Thermal conductivity of the fiber is clearly different to that of bulk sapphire• Surface and also heat treatment might change the thermal conductivity

Heat extraction from fibers
• If we asume – L = 30 cm, Ø 1.8 mm– Test mass TM 20K– Upper mass UM 16K– Thermal conductivity of k 2 x 10^3 W/m/K
• Heat extraction of one fiber:
• Around 1 W of extracted heat is desirable for KAGRA, but with fibers of Ø 1.6 mm
• Futher investigations are needed!

Summary
• Cooling of the test masses and suspensions will reduce brownian
thermal noise in future GWDs using silicon or sapphire
• Bulk sapphire is limited by phonon-phonon-interaction at the
desired temperature of 20 K ()
• Above 60 K TED limits the loss of sapphire fibers
Losses of better than are achieved below 10 K
• Heat extraction by suspension fibers needs to be slightly improved
Nevertheless: Sapphire will fulfill the requirements for KAGRA
