Description
Plans for technologies to be demonstrated at the Gingin High Optical Power Facility will be presented in the context of achieving high frequency sensitivity in future gravitational wave detectors. These plans include silicon optics with AlGaAs coatings to attains extreme optical power density, large opto-mechanical interaction and the investigation of thermal distortions and correction thereof in a cryogenic suspended mirror.
