Self-induced oscillations in an optomechanical system
Max Ludwig, Clemens Neuenhahn, Constanze Metzger +4
We have explored the nonlinear dynamics of an optomechanical system consisting of an illuminated Fabry-Perot cavity, one of whose end-mirrors is attached to a vibrating cantilever.…
Optical detection of single electron spin resonance in a quantum dot
Martin Kroner, Kathrina M. Weiss, Benjamin Biedermann +8
We demonstrate optically detected spin resonance of a single electron confined to a self-assembled quantum dot. The dot is rendered dark by resonant optical pumping of the spin wit…
Opto-Mechanics of deformable Fabry-Perot Cavities
Constanze Metzger, Ivan Favero, Alexander Ortlieb +1
We investigated the opto-mechanical properties of a Fabry-Perot cavity with a mirror mounted on a spring. Such a structure allows the cavity length to change elastically under the…
Cavity cooling of a nanomechanical resonator by light scattering
Ivan Favero, Khaled Karrai
We present a novel method for opto-mechanical cooling of sub-wavelength sized nanomechanical resonators. Our scheme uses a high finesse Fabry-Perot cavity of small mode volume, wit…
Doppler controlled dynamics of a mirror attached to a spring
Khaled Karrai, Ivan Favero, Constanze Metzger
A laser beam directed at a mirror attached onto a flexible mount extracts thermal energy from its mechanical Brownian motion by Doppler effect. For a normal mirror the efficiency o…
Contrast in transmission spectroscopy of a single quantum dot
B. D. Gerardot, S. Seidl, P. A. Dalgarno +5
We perform transmission spectroscopy on single quantum dots and examine the effects of a resident carriers spin, the incident laser spot size, polarization, and power on the experi…
