Amplifying Frequency Up-Converted Infrared Signals with a Molecular Optomechanical Cavity
arXiv:2308.08782 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.153602
Abstract
Frequency up-conversion, enabled by molecular optomechanical coupling, has recently emerged as a promising approach for converting infrared signals into the visible range through quantum coherent conversion of signals. However, detecting these converted signals poses a significant challenge due to their inherently weak signal intensity. In this work, we propose an amplification mechanism capable of enhancing the signal intensity by a factor of 1000 or more for the frequency up-converted infrared signal in a molecular optomechanical system. The mechanism takes advantage of the strong coupling enhancement with molecular collective mode and Stokes sideband pump. This work demonstrates a feasible approach for up-converting infrared signals to the visible range.
