Mode competition and anomalous cooling in a multimode phonon laser
Utku Kemiktarak, Mathieu Durand, Michael Metcalfe +1
We study mode competition in a multimode "phonon laser" comprised of an optical cavity employing a highly reflective membrane as the output coupler. Mechanical gain is provided by…
Mechanically Compliant Grating Reflectors for Optomechanics
Utku Kemiktarak, Michael Metcalfe, Mathieu Durand +1
We demonstrate micromechanical reflectors with a reflectivity as large as 99.4% and a mechanical quality factor Q as large as 7.8*10^5 for optomechanical applications. The reflecto…
Resolved Sideband Emission of InAs/GaAs Quantum Dots Strained by Surface Acoustic Waves
Michael Metcalfe, Stephen M. Carr, Andreas Muller +2
The dynamic response of InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) to strain is studied experimentally by periodically modulating the QDs with a surface acoustic wave and measurin…
Active feedback of a Fabry-Perot cavity to the emission of a single InAs/GaAs quantum dot
Michael Metcalfe, Andreas Muller, Glenn S. Solomon +1
We present a detailed study of the use of Fabry-Perot (FP) cavities for the spectroscopy of single InAs quantum dots (QDs). We derive optimal cavity characteristics and resolution…
Phase preserving amplification near the quantum limit with a Josephson Ring Modulator
N. Bergeal, F. Schackert, M. Metcalfe +7
Recent progress in solid state quantum information processing has stimulated the search for ultra-low-noise amplifiers and frequency converters in the microwave frequency range, wh…
Coupling an epitaxial quantum dot to a fiber-based external-mirror microcavity
Andreas Muller, Edward B. Flagg, Michael Metcalfe +2
We report the coupling of individual InAs quantum dots (QDs) to an external-mirror microcavity. The external mirror is bonded to a fiber and positioned above a semiconductor sample…
