Abstract
Suspended mirrors are the most prominent model systems for optomechanical devices. During the last 10 years, microfabricated mirrors have dramatically increased the capability to exploit radiation-pressure effects on such structures. This chapter summarizes the current state-of-the-art in the performance of suspended (micro-)mirrors for cavity optomechanics experiments in terms of their optical and mechanical quality, and highlights some of the milestones experiments performed with suspended mirrors.
