摘要
We present the results of quality factor measurements for rod samples made of fused silica. To decrease the dissipation, we annealed our samples. The highest quality factor that we observed was Q = (2.03 +/- 0.01) x 10(8) for a mode at 384 Hz. This is the highest published value of Q in fused silica measured to date.
