Optically detecting the quantization of collective atomic motion
Nathan Brahms, Thierry Botter, Sydney Schreppler +2
We directly measure the quantized collective motion of a gas of thousands of ultracold atoms, coupled to light in a high-finesse optical cavity. We detect strong asymmetries, as hi…
Ponderomotive light squeezing with atomic cavity optomechanics
Daniel W. C. Brooks, Thierry Botter, Nathan Brahms +3
Accessing distinctly quantum aspects of the interaction between light and the position of a mechanical object has been an outstanding challenge to cavity-optomechanical systems. On…
Linear Amplifier Model for Optomechanical Systems
Thierry Botter, Daniel W. C. Brooks, Nathan Brahms +2
We model optomechanical systems as linear optical amplifiers. This provides a unified treatment of diverse optomechanical phenomena. We emphasize, in particular, the relationship b…
