High-sensitivity optical measurement of mechanical Brownian motion
arXiv:quant-ph/9901056 · doi:10.1209/epl/i1999-00422-6
Abstract
We describe an experiment in which a laser beam is sent into a high-finesse optical cavity with a mirror coated on a mechanical resonator. We show that the reflected light is very sensitive to small mirror displacements. We have observed the Brownian motion of the resonator with a very high sensitivity.
