Description
The Advanced Virgo OMC is composed of two monolithic cavities placed in
series. The light is resonating in the fused silica substrate, which
yields a length noise bounded by thermo-refractive noise.
After introducing the specifications on the OMC length noise, tests and
results of length-noise measurements at the level of the thermo-refractive-noise will be presented.
We will also discuss the impact of the thermo-refractive noise on future detectors.
