Thermal noise of a plano-convex mirror
A. Heidmann, P. F. Cohadon, M. Pinard
We study theoretically the internal thermal noise of a mirror coated on a plano-convex substrate. The comparison with a cylindrical mirror of the same mass shows that the effect on…
Cooling of a mirror by radiation pressure
P. F. Cohadon, A. Heidmann, M. Pinard
We describe an experiment in which a mirror is cooled by the radiation pressure of light. A high-finesse optical cavity with a mirror coated on a mechanical resonator is used as an…
Effective mass in quantum effects of radiation pressure
M. Pinard, Y. Hadjar, A. Heidmann
We study the quantum effects of radiation pressure in a high-finesse cavity with a mirror coated on a mechanical resonator. We show that the optomechanical coupling can be describe…
High-sensitivity optical measurement of mechanical Brownian motion
Y. Hadjar, P. F. Cohadon, C. G. Aminoff +2
We describe an experiment in which a laser beam is sent into a high-finesse optical cavity with a mirror coated on a mechanical resonator. We show that the reflected light is very…
