Optical dilution and feedback cooling of a gram-scale oscillator to 6.9 mK
Thomas Corbitt, Christopher Wipf, Timothy Bodiya +5
We report on use of a radiation pressure induced restoring force, the optical spring effect, to optically dilute the mechanical damping of a 1 gram suspended mirror, which is then…
An all-optical trap for a gram-scale mirror
T. Corbitt, Y. Chen, H. Mueller-Ebhardt +7
We report on a stable optical trap suitable for a macroscopic mirror, wherein the dynamics of the mirror are fully dominated by radiation pressure. The technique employs two freque…
Squeezing in the audio gravitational wave detection band
K. McKenzie, N. Grosse, W. P. Bowen +4
We demonstrate the generation of broad-band continuous-wave optical squeezing down to 200Hz using a below threshold optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The squeezed state phase wa…
