Where the mechanical loss of the two component materials is different, it is possible to reduce the thermal noise by tailoring the coating design to minimize the volume of higherloss material in the coating. This can be achieved by decreasing the thickness of the high loss component, increasing the thickness of the low loss component, and varying the number of coating layers to maintain the same reflectivity. 1. 32. 2. , 2002).
