Thin single-layer grating structures can be used as a high reflectivity, but low thermal noise, alternative to conventional multilayer coatings. Grating waveguide (GWG) coatings should have low mechanical loss due to the reduced coating thickness, resulting in low thermal noise. Since the coating provides the interface between a light field and a mirror device, coating thermal noise is an important design concern for various high precision experiments such as gravitational wave detection. We present concepts and ongoing investigations of different types of GWG's.
