These alone would make the total scattering loss already 61ppm (with 1nm LF RMS) or 41ppm (with 0.75nm LF RMS). These alone would make the total scattering loss already '''61ppm''' (with 1nm LF RMS) or 41ppm (with 0.75nm LF RMS).

Concern on mirror optical losses by H.Yamamoto

  • Scattering loss of 45ppm by low-freq (>1mm) surface error of 1nm RMS (25ppm with 0.75nm RMS).

  • Scattering loss of 6ppm by high-freq (<1mm) surface error of 0.2nm RMS.

  • Unexplainable punctate scattering loss of 10ppm (realistic estimate would be 15-30ppm).

These alone would make the total scattering loss already 61ppm (with 1nm LF RMS) or 41ppm (with 0.75nm LF RMS).

  • Besides, absorption at the coatings, assumed to be 0.5ppm, can go worse by a few ppm easily.
  • LF RMS could be improved if we spend a lot of money and time. LIGO asked for RMS<0.5nm and Tinsley has achieved that value.
