The research in the project will be completed through a series of experiments with silicon nitride to design Bragg reflectors through dispersion techniques(such as atomic layer disposition and physical vapor disposition) traditionally used to create thin films. Experimental techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) will be used to help produce the films and study their quality. Programs may be used to simulate the mirror coatings and their capabilities before being fully produced. This research will draw information from books, articles and experimental dataproduced in a laboratory, such as in gravitational waves, thin films and material science.

该项目的研究将通过一系列氮化硅实验来完成，通过传统上用于制造薄膜的色散技术（例如原子层沉积和物理蒸汽沉积）来设计布拉格反射器。扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和原子力显微镜（AFM）等实验技术将用于帮助生产薄膜并研究其质量。在完全生产之前，可以使用程序来模拟镜面涂层及其功能。这项研究将从书籍、文章和实验室产生的实验数据中获取信息，例如引力波、薄膜和材料科学领域的信息。
