Cooling a nanomechanical resonator with quantum back-action
A. Naik, O. Buu, M. D. LaHaye +4
Quantum mechanics demands that the act of measurement must affect the measured object. When a linear amplifier is used to continuously monitor the position of an object, the Heisen…

Self-cooling of a micro-mirror by radiation pressure
S. Gigan, H. R. Boehm, M. Paternostro +7
We demonstrate passive feedback cooling of a mechanical resonator based on radiation pressure forces and assisted by photothermal forces in a high-finesse optical cavity. The reson…

A high-reflectivity high-Q micromechanical Bragg-mirror
H. R. Boehm, S. Gigan, G. Langer +6
We report on the fabrication and characterization of a micromechanical oscillator consisting only of a free-standing dielectric Bragg mirror with high optical reflectivity and high…
