Proposal for a near-field optomechanical system with enhanced linear and quadratic coupling
Physical Review A, 2012
We propose a realistic system with separated optical and mechanical degrees of freedom, in which a high-mechanical-quality silicon nitride membrane is placed upon a high-optical-quality whispering gallery microcavity. The strongly enhanced linear optomechanical coupling, together with simultaneously low optical and mechanical losses in the present system, results in a remarkable single-photon cooperativity exceeding 300. This unprecedented cooperativity in the optomechanical system enables optical nonlinearity at low light intensities and holds great potential in generating, storing, and implementing quantum states. Moreover, the device gives rise to significantly stronger quadratic optomechanical coupling than achieved to date, which is desirable for measuring phonon shot noise with a high signal-to-noise ratio.
