Subthreshold phonon generation in an optomechanical system with an exceptional point
arXiv:2212.05597 · doi:10.1364/OL.485245
Abstract
A phonon laser based on an optomechanical system consisting of two optical modes interacting with each other via a phononic mode is considered. An external wave exciting one of the optical modes plays a role of the pumping. It is shown that at some amplitude of the external wave an exceptional point exists. When the external wave amplitude is less than one corresponding to the exceptional point, the splitting of the eigenfrequencies takes place. It is demonstrated that in this case, the periodic modulation of the external wave amplitude can result in simultaneous generation of photons and phonons even below the threshold of optomechanical instability.
