Optomechanical cooling and inertial sensing at low frequencies
Yanqi Zhang, Adam Hines, Dalziel Wilson +1
An inertial sensor design is proposed in this paper to achieve high sensitivity and large dynamic range in the sub-Hz frequency regime. High acceleration sensitivity is obtained by…
Searching for vector dark matter with an optomechanical accelerometer
Jack Manley, Mitul Dey Chowdhury, Daniel Grin +2
We consider using optomechanical accelerometers as resonant detectors for ultralight dark matter. As a concrete example, we describe a detector based on a silicon nitride membrane…
Thermal intermodulation noise in cavity-based measurements
Sergey A. Fedorov, Alberto Beccari, Amirali Arabmoheghi +3
Thermal frequency fluctuations in optical cavities limit the sensitivity of precision experiments ranging from gravitational wave observatories to optical atomic clocks. Convention…
Towards cavity-free ground state cooling of an acoustic-frequency silicon nitride membrane
Christian M. Pluchar, Aman Agrawal, Edward Schenk +1
We demonstrate feedback cooling of a millimeter-scale, 40 kHz SiN membrane from room temperature to 5 mK (3000 phonons) using a Michelson interferometer, and discuss the challenges…
Searching for scalar dark matter with compact mechanical resonators
Jack Manley, Russell Stump, Dalziel Wilson +2
We explore the viability of laboratory-scale mechanical resonators as detectors for ultralight scalar dark matter. The signal we investigate is an atomic strain due to modulation o…
Optomechanics with one-dimensional gallium phosphide photonic crystal cavities
Katharina Schneider, Yannick Baumgartner, Simon Hönl +5
Gallium phosphide offers an attractive combination of a high refractive index ( for vacuum wavelengths up to 4 μm) and a wide electronic bandgap (2.26 eV), enabling optical ca…
