摘要：

Thermal noise in mirror suspension wires is the main limitation of low-frequency sensitivity of interferometric gravitational wave detectors. In order to minimize the pendulum thermal noise, a monolithic design, using a low dissipation material, is proposed for VIRGO. High mechanical Qs and high breaking strengths have been obtained for monolithic fused silica fibres. A low-dissipation and high-strength bonding technique using potassium silicate bonding is proposed.
