Enhanced quantum nonlinearities in a two-mode optomechanical system.
In cavity optomechanics, nanomechanical motion couples to a localized optical mode. The regime of single-photon strong coupling is reached when the optical shift induced by a single phonon becomes comparable to the cavity linewidth. We consider a setup in this regime comprising two optical modes and one mechanical mode. For mechanical frequencies nearly resonant to the optical level splitting, ...
متن کاملHeralded single-phonon preparation, storage, and readout in cavity optomechanics.
We show how to use the radiation pressure optomechanical coupling between a mechanical oscillator and an optical cavity field to generate in a heralded way a single quantum of mechanical motion (a Fock state). Starting with the oscillator close to its ground state, a laser pumping the upper motional sideband produces correlated photon-phonon pairs via optomechanical parametric down-conversion. ...
متن کاملStrong optomechanical interactions in a sliced photonic crystal nanobeam
Coupling between mechanical and optical degrees of freedom is strongly enhanced by using subwavelength optical mode profiles. We realize an optomechanical system based on a sliced photonic crystal nanobeam, which combines such highly confined optical fields with a low-mass mechanical mode. Analyzing the transduction of motion and effects of radiation pressure we find the system exhibits a photo...
متن کاملExternal Control of Dissipative Coupling in a Heterogeneously Integrated Photonic Crystal—SOI Waveguide Optomechanical System
Cavity optomechanical systems with an enhanced coupling between mechanical motion and electromagnetic radiation have permitted the investigation of many novel physical effects. The optomechanical coupling in the majority of these systems is of dispersive nature: the cavity resonance frequency is modulated by the vibrations of the mechanical oscillator. Dissipative optomechanical interaction, wh...
متن کاملOptomechanical Dirac physics
Recent progress in optomechanical systemsmay soon allow the realization of optomechanical arrays, i.e. periodic arrangements of interacting optical and vibrationalmodes.We show that photons and phonons on a honeycomb lattice will produce an optically tunableDirac-type band structure. Transport in such a system can exhibit transmission through an optically created barrier, similar toKlein tunnel...
