Optomechanical coupling in a two-dimensional photonic crystal defect cavity
Emanuel Gavartin, Remy Braive, Isabelle Sagnes +4
Periodically structured materials can sustain both optical and mechanical modes. Here we investigate and observe experimentally the optomechanical properties of a conventional two-…
Optomechanical sideband cooling of a micromechanical oscillator close to the quantum ground state
Remi Riviere, Samuel Deleglise, Stefan Weis +4
Cooling a mesoscopic mechanical oscillator to its quantum ground state is elementary for the preparation and control of low entropy quantum states of large scale objects. Here, we…
Optomechanically induced transparency
S. Weis, R. Riviere, S. Deleglise +4
Coherent interaction of laser radiation with multilevel atoms and molecules can lead to quantum interference in the electronic excitation pathways. A prominent example observed in…
Measuring nanomechanical motion with an imprecision far below the standard quantum limit
G. Anetsberger, E. Gavartin, O. Arcizet +5
We demonstrate a transducer of nanomechanical motion based on cavity enhanced optical near-fields capable of achieving a shot-noise limited imprecision more than 10 dB below the st…
