Optomechanical compensatory cooling mechanism with exceptional points

Abstract

The ground state cooling of Brillouin scattering optomechanical system is limited by defects in practical sample. In this paper, we propose a new compensatory cooling mechanism for Brillouin scattering optomechanical system with exceptional points (EPs). By using the EPs both in optical and mechanical modes, the limited cooling process is compensated effectively. The dual-EPs system, which is discovered in this work for the first time, can be induced by two defects with specific relative angles and has function of not only actively manipulating the coupling strength of optical modes but also the Brillouin phonon modes. Our results provide new tools to manipulate the optomechanical interaction in multi-mode systems and open the possibility of quantum state transfer and quantum interface protocols based on phonon cooling in quantum applications.
