Abstract
We have directly observed broadband thermal noise in silica/tantala coatings in a high-sensitivity Fabry–Perot interferometer. Our result agrees well with the prediction based on indirect, ring-down measurements of coating mechanical loss, validating that method as a tool for the development of advanced interferometric gravitational-wave detectors.
