Comment on “ A classical model for asymmetric sidebands in cavity optomechanical measurements ”

چکیده
We respond to a recent manuscript by Tsang [arXiv:1306.2699], on whether the measurement presented in Safavi-Naeini et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 033602 (2012)] can be explained “without reference to quantum mechanics”. We show that the fully classical analysis provided by Tsang, and previously by Safavi-Naeini et al. [New J. Phys. 15, 035007 (2013)], has been ruled out by our published data. In addition, we discuss the role of the mathematical formulation used on the interpretation of the asymmetry effect, as has previously been considered by Khalili et al. [Phys. Rev. A 86, 033840 (2012)].

متن کاملCryogenic optomechanics with a Si3N4 membrane and classical laser noise
We demonstrate a cryogenic optomechanical system comprising a flexible Si3N4 membrane placed at the center of a free-space optical cavity in a 400mK cryogenic environment. We observe a mechanical quality factor Q > 4× 106 for the 261 kHz fundamental drum-head mode of the membrane, and a cavity resonance halfwidth of 60 kHz. The optomechanical system therefore operates in the resolved sideband l...
متن کاملQuantum backaction and noise interference in asymmetric two-cavity optomechanical systems
We study the effect of cavity damping asymmetries on backaction in a “membrane-in-the-middle” optomechanical system, where a mechanical mode modulates the coupling between two photonic modes. We show that when the energy difference between the optical modes dominates (i.e., in the adiabatic limit) this system generically realizes a dissipative optomechanical coupling, with an effective position...
متن کاملInformation for “ A picogram and nanometer scale photonic crystal opto - mechanical cavity ”
These set of notes describe cavity optomechanics in the presence of additional thermo-optic tuning of the cavity resonance. We find that thermo-optic tuning results in correction factors to both the optical spring and optomechanical gain. In addition there is an overall saturation of the optomechanical coupling. These effects can be large for systems with large static thermo-optic tuning and fa...
متن کاملElectromagnetically induced transparency and slow light in two-mode optomechanics.
We theoretically demonstrate the mechanically mediated electromagnetically induced transparency in a two-mode cavity optomechanical system, where two cavity modes are coupled to a common mechanical resonator. When the two cavity modes are driven on their respective red sidebands by two pump beams, a transparency window appears in the probe transmission spectrum due to destructive interference. ...
