Enhanced sensing of non-Newtonian effects at ultrashort range with exceptional points in optomechanical systems
arXiv:1912.05732
Abstract
We propose an optomechanical nano-gravimeter based on exceptional points. The system is a coupled cavity optomechanical system, in which the gain and loss are applied by driving the cavities with a blue detuned and red detuned electromagnetic field, respectively. When the gain and loss reach a balance, the system will show the degeneracy of exceptional points, and any perturbation will cause an eigenfrequencies split, which is proportional to the square root of the perturbation strength. Compared with the traditional optomechanical sensors, the sensitivity is greatly enhanced. This work paves the way for the design of optomechanical ultrasensitive force sensors that can be applied to detect non-Newtonian effects, high-order weak interactions, and so on.
