High precision displacement sensing of monolithic piezoelectric disk resonators using a single-electron transistor
Jian Li, Jorge Santos, Mika Sillanpaa
A single-electron transistor (SET) can be used as an extremely sensitive charge detector. Mechanical displacements can be converted into charge, and hence, SETs can become sensitiv…

Optomechanical measurement of a millimeter-sized mechanical oscillator near the quantum limit
J. T. Santos, J. Li, J. Ilves +2
Cavity optomechanics is a tool to study the interaction between light and micromechanical motion. Here we observe near-quantum limited optomechanical physics in a truly macroscopic…
