Phonon momentum and damping of mechanical resonators
Antonio Borrielli, Enrico Serra, Livia Conti +1
The concept of physical momentum associated to phonons in a crystal, complemented with some fundamental reasoning, implies measurable effects in crystals even at a macroscopic scal…
An ultra-low dissipation micro-oscillator for quantum opto-mechanics
E. Serra, A. Borrielli, F. S. Cataliotti +5
Generating non-classical states of light by opto-mechanical coupling depends critically on the mechanical and optical properties of micro-oscillators and on the minimization of the…
Inhomogeneous mechanical losses in micro-oscillators with high reflectivity coating
E. Serra, F. S. Cataliotti, F. Marin +4
We characterize the mechanical quality factor of micro-oscillators covered by a highly reflective coating. We test an approach to the reduction of mechanical losses, that consists…
