Back action evasion in optical lever detection
Shan Hao, Thomas Purdy
The optical lever is a centuries old and widely-used detection technique employed in applications ranging from consumer products, industrial sensors to precision force microscopes…
Mechanical Quantum Sensing in the Search for Dark Matter
Daniel Carney, Gordan Krnjaic, David C. Moore +32
Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matt…
Bidirectional and efficient conversion between microwave and optical light
R. W. Andrews, R. W. Peterson, T. P. Purdy +4
Converting low-frequency electrical signals into much higher frequency optical signals has enabled modern communications networks to leverage both the strengths of microfabricated…
Strong Optomechanical Squeezing of Light
T. P. Purdy, P. -L. Yu, R. W. Peterson +2
We create squeezed light by exploiting the quantum nature of the mechanical interaction between laser light and a membrane mechanical resonator embedded in an optical cavity. The r…
Observation of Radiation Pressure Shot Noise on a Macroscopic Object
T. P. Purdy, R. W. Peterson, C. A. Regal
The quantum mechanics of position measurement of a macroscopic object is typically inaccessible because of strong coupling to the environment and classical noise. Here we monitor a…
