Abstract
Microwave optomechanical circuits have been demonstrated in the past years to be extremely powerfool tools for both, exploring fundamental physics of macroscopic mechanical oscillators as well as being promising candidates for novel on-chip quantum limited microwave devices. In most experiments so far, the mechanical oscillator is either used as a passive device element and its displacement is detected using the superconducting cavity or manipulated by intracavity fields. Here, we explore the possibility to directly and parametrically manipulate the mechanical nanobeam resonator of a cavity electromechanical system, which provides additional functionality to the toolbox of microwave optomechanical devices. In addition to using the cavity as an interferometer to detect parametrically modulated mechanical displacement and squeezed thermomechanical motion, we demonstrate that parametric modulation of the nanobeam resonance frequency can realize a phase-sensitive parametric amplifier for intracavity microwave photons. In contrast to many other microwave amplification schemes using electromechanical circuits, the presented technique allows for simultaneous cooling of the mechanical element, which potentially enables this type of optomechanical microwave amplifier to be quantum-limited.
