Vibration isolation with high thermal conductance for a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator

Martin de Wit, Gesa Welker, Kier Heeck +6

We present the design and implementation of a mechanical low-pass filter vibration isolation used to reduce the vibrational noise in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator operated a…

Coherent Optomechanical State Transfer between Disparate Mechanical Resonators

Matthew J. Weaver, Frank M. Buters, Fernando Luna +4

Hybrid quantum systems have been developed with various mechanical, optical and microwave harmonic oscillators. The coupling produces a rich library of interactions including two m…

High-Q nested resonator in an actively stabilized optomechanical cavity

Frank M. Buters, Kier Heeck, Hedwig J. Eerkens +4

Experiments involving micro- and nanomechanical resonators need to be carefully designed to reduce mechanical environmental noise. A small scale on-chip approach is to add an addit…

Nested Trampoline Resonators for Optomechanics

Matthew J. Weaver, Brian Pepper, Fernando Luna +7

Two major challenges in the development of optomechanical devices are achieving a low mechanical and optical loss rate and vibration isolation from the environment. We address both…

Experimental exploration of the optomechanical attractor diagram and its dynamics

Frank M. Buters, Hedwig J. Eerkens, Kier Heeck +4

We demonstrate experimental exploration of the attractor diagram of an optomechanical system where the optical forces compensate for the mechanical losses. In this case stable self…

Measurement of the Casimir force with a ferrule-top sensor

P. Zuurbier, S. de Man, G. Gruca +2

We present a Casimir force setup based on an all-optical ferrule-top sensor. We demonstrate that the instrument can be used to measure the gradient of the Casimir force between a g…
