Entangling the ro-vibrational modes of a macroscopic mirror using radiation pressure
M. Bhattacharya, P. -L. Giscard, P. Meystre
We consider the dynamics of a vibrating and rotating end-mirror of an optical Fabry-P{érot} cavity that can sustain Laguerre-Gaussian modes. We demonstrate theoretically that since…
How to detect level crossings without looking at the spectrum
M. Bhattacharya
We remind the reader that it is possible to tell if two or more eigenvalues of a matrix are equal, without calculating the eigenvalues. We then use this property to detect (avoided…
Using a Laguerre-Gaussian beam to trap and cool the rotational motion of a mirror
M. Bhattacharya, P. Meystre
We show theoretically that it is possible to trap and cool the rotational motion of a macroscopic mirror made of a perfectly reflecting spiral phase element using orbital angular m…
Trapping and Cooling a mirror to its quantum mechanical ground state
M. Bhattacharya, P. Meystre
We propose a technique aimed at cooling a harmonically oscillating mirror to its quantum mechanical ground state starting from room temperature. Our method, which involves the two-…
