Thermal Noise Measurement Below the Standard Quantum Limit

Ronald Pagano, Scott Aronson, Torrey Cullen +2

We present a method characterizing thermal noise in an optical cavity independent from quantum noise despite the thermal noise falling below the quantum noise limit. Using this met…

Conditional Motional Squeezing of an Optomechanical Oscillator Approaching the Quantum Regime

Benjamin B. Lane, Junxin Chen, Ronald E. Pagano +5

Squeezed mechanical states are a highly coveted resource for quantum-enhanced sensing and serve as a compelling platform for probing the interplay between gravity and quantum mecha…

Optical Spring Tracking for Enhancing Quantum-Limited Interferometers

Scott Aronson, Ronald Pagano, Torrey Cullen +2

Modern interferometers such as LIGO have achieved sensitivities limited by quantum noise, comprised of radiation pressure and shot noise. To mitigate this noise, a static system is…

Surpassing the Standard Quantum Limit using an Optical Spring

Torrey Cullen, Scott Aronson, Ron Pagano +9

Quantum mechanics places noise limits and sensitivity restrictions on physical measurements. The balance between unwanted backaction and the precision of optical measurements impos…

Passive Laser Power Stabilization via an Optical Spring

Torrey Cullen, Scott Aronson, Ron Pagano +8

Metrology experiments can be limited by the noise produced by the laser involved via small fluctuations in the laser's power or frequency. Typically, active power stabilization sch…
