Silica suspension and coating developments for Advanced LIGO [PDF]

, 2006
The proposed upgrade to the LIGO detectors to form the Advanced LIGO detector system is intended to incorporate a low thermal noise monolithic fused silica final stage test mass suspension based on developments of the GEO 600 suspension design. This will

Invited Article: CO_2 laser production of fused silica fibers for use in interferometric gravitational wave detector mirror suspensions [PDF]

, 2011
In 2000 the first mirror suspensions to use a quasi-monolithic final stage were installed at the GEO600 detector site outside Hannover, pioneering the use of fused silica suspension fibers in long baseline interferometric detectors to reduce suspension ...

Influence of polydimethylsiloxane addition on the sintering behaviour of the fused silica bodies [PDF]

Processing and Application of Ceramics
Fused silica materials are of high importance because of their excellent thermomechanical properties. So far, fused silica bodies have been produced mostly through solid-state sintering of slip-cast bodies.
