Amplitude Noise Squeezing in Cavity-Driven Oscillations of a Mechanical Resonator
arXiv:0909.4389 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.053601
Abstract
We analyze the amplitude and phase noise of limit-cycle oscillations in a mechanical resonator coupled parametrically to an optical cavity driven above its resonant frequency. At a given temperature the limit-cycle oscillations have lower amplitude noise than states of the same average amplitude excited by a pure harmonic drive; for sufficiently low thermal noise a sub-Poissonian resonator state can be produced. We also calculate the linewidth narrowing that occurs in the limit-cycle states, and show that while the minimum is set by direct phase diffusion, diffusion due to the optical spring effect can dominate if the cavity is not driven exactly at a side-band resonance.
