Thermal noise of a plano-convex mirror

A. Heidmann, P. F. Cohadon, M. Pinard

abstract: We study theoretically the internal thermal noise of a mirror coated on a plano-convex substrate. The comparison with a cylindrical mirror of the same mass shows that the effect on a light beam can be reduced by a factor 10, improving the sensitivity of high-precision optical experiments such as gravitational-wave interferometers.
