title = "Systematic measurement of the intrinsic losses in various kinds of bulk fused silica",
abstract = "We systematically measured and compared the mechanical losses of various kinds of bulk fused silica. Their quality factors ranged widely from 7×105 to 4×107, the latter being one of the highest reported among bulk fused silica. We observed frequency-dependent losses and a decrease in the losses upon annealing.",
