Improving broadband displacement detection with quantum correlations
N. S. Kampel, R. W. Peterson, R. Fischer +5
Interferometers enable ultrasensitive measurement in a wide array of applications from gravitational wave searches to force microscopes. The role of quantum mechanics in the metrol…
Laser cooling of a micromechanical membrane to the quantum backaction limit
R. W. Peterson, T. P. Purdy, N. S. Kampel +4
The radiation pressure of light can act to damp and cool the vibrational motion of a mechanical resonator. In understanding the quantum limits of this cooling, one must consider th…
Optomechanical Raman-Ratio Thermometry
T. P. Purdy, P. -L. Yu, N. S. Kampel +4
The temperature dependence of the asymmetry between Stokes and anti-Stokes Raman scattering can be exploited for self-calibrating, optically-based thermometry. In the context of ca…
Strong Optomechanical Squeezing of Light
T. P. Purdy, P. -L. Yu, R. W. Peterson +2
We create squeezed light by exploiting the quantum nature of the mechanical interaction between laser light and a membrane mechanical resonator embedded in an optical cavity. The r…
Cavity optomechanics with Si3N4 membranes at cryogenic temperatures
T. P. Purdy, R. W. Peterson, P. -L. Yu +1
We describe a cryogenic cavity-optomechanical system that combines Si3N4 membranes with a mechanically-rigid Fabry-Perot cavity. The extremely high quality-factor frequency product…
