Abstract
We systematically measured and compared the mechanical losses of various kinds of bulk fused silica. Their quality factors ranged widely from 7x10^5 to 4x10^7, 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.
