Abstract
We demonstrate substrate-transferred crystalline coatings, based on epitaxial Bragg mirrors directly-bonded to fused silica, exhibiting an unprecedented tenfold reduction in Brownian noise. These mirrors promise a significant advancement in the performance of precision optical interferometers.
