Calibrated quantum thermometry in cavity optomechanics
A Chowdhury, P Vezio, M Bonaldi +9
Cavity optomechanics has achieved the major breakthrough of the preparation and observation of macroscopic mechanical oscillators in peculiarly quantum states. The development of r…
Silicon Nitride MOMS Oscillator for Room Temperature Quantum Optomechanics
Enrico Serra, Bruno Morana, Antonio Borrielli +6
Optomechanical SiN nano-oscillators in high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavities can be used to investigate the interaction between mechanical and optical degree of freedom for ultra-sensi…
Through-membrane electron-beam lithography for ultrathin membrane applications
M. Neklyudova, A. K. Erdamar, L. Vicarelli +6
We present a technique to fabricate ultrathin (down to 20 nm) uniform electron transparent windows at dedicated locations in a SiN membrane for in situ transmission electron micros…
Normal--mode splitting in a weakly coupled optomechanical system
Massimiliano Rossi, Nenad Kralj, Stefano Zippilli +6
Normal--mode splitting is the most evident signature of strong coupling between two interacting subsystems. It occurs when two subsystems exchange energy between themselves faster…
Enhancement of three-mode optomechanical interaction by feedback-controlled light
Nenad Kralj, Massimiliano Rossi, Stefano Zippilli +6
We realise a feedback-controlled optical Fabry-Perot cavity in which the transmitted cavity output is used to modulate the input amplitude fluctuations. The resulting phase-depende…
Enhancing sideband cooling by feedback--controlled light
Massimiliano Rossi, Nenad Kralj, Stefano Zippilli +6
We realise a phase-sensitive closed-loop control scheme to engineer the fluctuations of the pump field which drives an optomechanical system, and show that the corresponding coolin…
Quantum nondemolition measurement of optical field fluctuations by optomechanical interaction
A. Pontin, M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli +7
According to quantum mechanics, if we keep observing a continuous variable we generally disturb its evolution. For a class of observables, however, it is possible to implement a so…
Microfabrication of large area high-stress silicon nitride membranes for optomechanical devices
E. Serra, M. Bawaj, A. Borrielli +16
In view of the integration of membrane resonators with more complex MEMS structures, we developed a general fabrication procedure for circular shape SiN membranes using Deep Re…
Dynamical two-mode squeezing of thermal fluctuations in a cavity opto-mechanical system
A. Pontin, M. Bonaldi, A. Borrielli +7
We report the experimental observation of two-mode squeezing in the oscillation quadratures of a thermal micro-oscillator. This effect is obtained by parametric modulation of the o…
Atomic-scale electron-beam sculpting of defect-free graphene nanostructures
Bo Song, Grégory F. Schneider, Qiang Xu +3
In order to harvest the many promising properties of graphene in (electronic) applications, a technique is required to cut, shape or sculpt the material on a nanoscale without dama…
DNA Translocation through Graphene Nanopores
Grégory F. Schneider, Stefan W. Kowalczyk, Victor E. Calado +4
Nanopores -- nanosized holes that can transport ions and molecules -- are very promising devices for genomic screening, in particular DNA sequencing. Both solid-state and biologica…
