Mechanically Modulated Sideband and Squeezing Effects of Membrane Resonators

Abstract

We investigate the sideband spectra of a driven nonlinear mode with its eigenfrequency being modulated at a low frequency (< 1 kHz). This additional parametric modulation leads to prominent antiresonance lineshapes in the sideband spectra, which can be controlled through the vibration state of the driven mode. We also establish a direct connection between the antiresonance frequency and the squeezing of thermal fluctuation in the system. Our work not only provides a simple and robust method for squeezing characterization but also opens a new possibility toward sideband applications.
