For thermal noise considerations of LIGO suspensions, the sources ofdissipation in the suspending fibers must be analyzed. To determine thedissipation induced by the surface of fused silica fibers, we measured thequality factor of fibers having various diameters. We measured a maximumquality factor of 21 million and extrapolated to obtain an intrinsic qualityfactor for fused silica of 30 million. Dissipation in the surface dominated atdiameters less than about 1 mm. We developed a method for characterizingsurface-induced dissipation that is independent of sample geometry or modeshape.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figures, RevTeX. Minor Revisions.
