Participants: Matteo, Haoyu, Marc, Abe, Tomaru, June Gyu, Dan Chen

Next meeting

2022 Aug 4, 15:00 - 16:00

Minutes

  1. Sapphire substrate sent to LMA from KYamamoto to do a first attempt for Ti:GeO2 deposition

  2. Report on Aztec substrates characterization from Marc
    • absorption:
      • four substrates characterized,
      • #3 meets the specs (45ppm/cm), #1 almost meets the specs (60ppm/cm), #2 and #4 don't meet the specs (110ppm/cm and 90 ppm/cm)
    • birefringence:
      • explanation of improved calibration system
      • aztec #3 characterization results: dn = (2+/-1)*1e-6, theta = 4deg
      • losses below 1% due to birefringence
    • scattering:
      • IR camera installation ongoing to measure scattering on PCI setup
      • IR and red measurement planned to distinguish between Rayleigh and Mie scattering
  3. Report of scattering measurement from Abe
    • 10% - 30% losses on green
