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.
