Brillouin Optomechanics in Coupled Silicon Microcavities
The simultaneous control of optical and mechanical waves has enabled a range of fundamental and technological breakthroughs, from the demonstration of ultra-stable frequency reference devices, to the exploration of the quantum-classical boundaries in optomechanical laser-cooling experiments. More recently, such an optomechanical interaction has been observed in integrated nano-waveguides and mi...
متن کاملQuantum theory of optomechanical cooling
We review the quantum theory of cooling of a mechanical oscillator subject to the radiation pressure force due to light circulating inside a driven optical cavity. Such optomechanical setups have been used recently in a series of experiments by various groups to cool mechanical oscillators (such as cantilevers) by factors reaching 10, and they may soon go to the ground state of mechanical motio...
متن کاملQuantum-limited amplification and parametric instability in the reversed dissipation regime of cavity optomechanics.
Cavity optomechanical phenomena, such as cooling, amplification, or optomechanically induced transparency, emerge due to a strong imbalance in the dissipation rates of the parametrically coupled electromagnetic and mechanical resonators. Here we analyze the reversed dissipation regime where the mechanical energy relaxation rate exceeds the energy decay rate of the electromagnetic cavity. We dem...
متن کاملCavity-Assisted Back Action Cooling of Mechanical Resonators
We analyze the quantum regime of the dynamical backaction cooling of a mechanical resonator assisted by a driven harmonic oscillator (cavity). Our treatment applies to both optomechanical and electromechanical realizations and includes the effect of thermal noise in the driven oscillator. In the perturbative case, we derive the corresponding motional master equation using the Nakajima-Zwanzig f...
متن کاملClassical Analysis of Cavity Optomechanics
We present a classical analysis of a mechanical oscillator subject to the radiation pressure force due to light circulating inside a driven optical cavity. Our analysis is related to the problem of cooling an optomechanical setup to degrees near the ground state of mechanical motion according to quantum theory. Achieving this could provide an insight into quantum phenomena occurring in macro-sc...
