The thermal noise of the fused silica test masses and their metal suspension fibers presents a significant limitation to the sensitivity of interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Advanced suspensions are likely to require the use of materials of substantially lower mechanical loss. Here we present measurements of the mechanical loss of fused quartz elements suitable for use as suspension fibers in an advanced suspension system and summarize measurements of the mechanical and optical loss of potential replacement test mass materials. .
