摘要
We have measured the displacement thermal noise of a mechanical cantilever, made of phosphor bronze, using a laser interferometer. The measured noise spectrum agrees well with an estimation based on the fluctuation-dissipation theorem with a mechanical-admittance measurement. The frequency range where we could measure the thermal noise was from 50 to 500 Hz; this range is important for the noise characterization of interferometric gravitational wave detectors.
