Breaking optomechanical cooling limit by two drive fields on a membrane-in-middle system
arXiv:1901.09338 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.99.023829
Abstract
We present a theoretical scheme for ground state cooling of a mechanical resonator in a membrane-in-middle optomechanical system (OMS) driven by two red-detuned drive fields. The details of dynamical evolution of OMS are provided, and the effect of system conditions on cooling results are systematically studied. Most importantly, the setups with two drives are found to be capable of achieving better cooling results than the theoretical cooling limit with single cavity. Even an improvement by one order of thermal phonon number is possible with proper combination of the cavity damping rate and drive intensity.
