Abstract In this work we study the thermal noise of two monolithically suspended mirrors in a tabletop high-finesse optical cavity. We show that, given suitable seismic filters, such a cavity can be designed to be sensitive to quantum radiation pressure fluctuations in the audio band of gravitational wave interferometric detectors below 1 kHz. Indeed, the thermal noise of the suspensions and of the coatings constitutes the main limit to the observation of quantum radiation pressure fluctuations. This limit can be overcome with an adequate choice of mirror suspension and coating parameters. Finally, we propose to combine two optical cavities, like those modeled in this work, to obtain a tabletop quantum radiation pressure-limited interferometer. Graphical abstract

At the commencement of a new era in astrophysics, with added information from direct detections of gravitational-wave (GW) signals, this paper is a testament to the quasi-monolithic suspensions of the test masses of the GW detectors that have enabled the opening of a new window on the universe. The quasi-monolithic suspensions are the final stages in the seismic isolation of the test masses in GW detectors, and are specifically designed to introduce as little thermal noise as possible. The history of the development of the fused-silica quasi-monolithic suspensions, which have been so essential for the first detections of GWs, is outlined and a glimpse into the status of research towards quasi-monolithic suspensions made of sapphire and silicon is given. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘The promises of gravitational-wave astronomy’.
