Abstract
Fused silica fibers with a dumbbell-shaped diameter profile are proposed to simultaneously achieve low thermal noise and low vertical bounce frequency in an interferometric gravitational wave detector. We present a theoretical analysis of achievable noise spectra. We also survey the sources of dissipation in fused silica fibers. Finally, we apply the model to analyze the influence of welded end pins on Q's of suspensions.
