Laser noise in cavity-optomechanical cooling and thermometry
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Jasper Chan, Jeff T. Hill +5
We review and study the roles of quantum and classical fluctuations in recent cavity-optomechanical experiments which have now reached the quantum regime (mechanical phonon occupan…
Slot-mode-coupled optomechanical crystals
Marcelo Davanco, Jasper Chan, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini +2
We present a design methodology and analysis of a cavity optomechanical system in which a localized GHz frequency mechanical mode of a nanobeam resonator is evanescently coupled to…
Optimized optomechanical crystal cavity with acoustic radiation shield
Jasper Chan, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Jeff T. Hill +2
We present the design of an optomechanical crystal nanobeam cavity that combines finite-element simulation with numerical optimization, and considers the optomechanical coupling ar…
Quantum back-action in measurements of zero-point mechanical oscillations
Farid Ya. Khalili, Haixing Miao, Huan Yang +3
Measurement-induced back action, a direct consequence of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, is the defining feature of quantum measurements. We use quantum measurement theory to…
Coherent optical wavelength conversion via cavity-optomechanics
Jeff T. Hill, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Jasper Chan +1
We theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate coherent wavelength conversion of optical photons using photon-phonon translation in a cavity-optomechanical system. For an…
Enhanced quantum nonlinearities in a two mode optomechanical system
Max Ludwig, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Oskar Painter +1
In cavity optomechanics, nanomechanical motion couples to a localized optical mode. The regime of single-photon strong coupling is reached when the optical shift induced by a singl…
