We report on the optical, mechanical and structural characterization of the sputtered coating materials of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-waves detectors. We present the latest results of our research program aiming at decreasing coating thermal noise through doping, optimization of deposition parameters and post-deposition annealing. Finally, we propose sputtered Si3N4as a candidate material for the mirrors of future detectors.

Abstract
We report on the optical, mechanical and structural characterization of the sputtered coating materials of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-waves detectors. We present the latest results of our research program aiming at decreasing coating thermal noise through doping, optimization of deposition parameters and post-deposition annealing. Finally, we propose sputtered Si3N4as a candidate material for the mirrors of future detectors.
