- Author contribution statement
- I contributed to the conceptualisation and novel design of the Advanced LIGO instruments which are reported in this paper, in particular the interferometer mirror coatings – a critical part of the detectors. I led research contributing to the development and characterisation of the coatings over a number of years, both in Glasgow and more widely during my four years as the scientist leading the group of researchers within the LIGO Scientific Collaboration dedicated to working on optics of the detectors.
