Optomechanical Ground-State Cooling in a Continuous and Efficient Electro-Optic Transducer

B. M. Brubaker et al.

Summary: The study presents an efficient and continuously operating electro-optomechanical transducer that has been optically sideband cooled to its quantum ground state, achieving a maximum efficiency of 47% and minimum input-referred added noise of 3.2 photons. In comparison with conventional platforms, this transducer has lower thermal occupancy and higher efficiency.

Membrane-Based Scanning Force Microscopy

David Halg et al.

Summary: The study reports the development of a scanning force microscope based on an ultrasensitive silicon nitride membrane optomechanical transducer. In this instrument, the substrate vibrates while the scanning tip remains at rest, demonstrating excellent force sensitivity even when loaded with samples. The prospects and limitations of the instrument as a quantum-limited force sensor and imaging tool are discussed.

Gravitational wave detectors with broadband high frequency sensitivity

Michael A. Page et al.

Summary: The authors propose solutions to enhance the sensitivity of a laser interferometric gravitational wave detector using optomechanics-based white light signal recycling technologies in the frequency band of 1-5 kHz. Experimental data for two resonators, a silicon nitride membrane and a single-crystal quartz cavity, show that the membrane resonator is better for optical power requirements while the quartz resonator is superior in thermal noise performance. Both resonators could be implemented as add-on components to existing detectors to achieve broadband sensitivity.

Approaching the motional ground state of a 10-kg object

Chris Whittle et al.

Summary: The motion of a mechanical object, even a human-sized object, should follow the rules of quantum mechanics, but the thermal environment can mask quantum signatures. By reducing temperature and using feedback, researchers were able to prepare a mechanical oscillator with a 10-kilogram mass close to its ground state motion, enabling the possibility of probing gravity in massive quantum systems.

Dynamical Backaction in an Ultrahigh-Finesse Fiber-Based Microcavity

Felix Rochau et al.

Summary: The use of fiber-based Fabry-Perot microcavities allows for ultrasensitive microcavity setups with the highest finesse reported so far, reaching a finesse of F=195000. This enables sensitive detection of minute objects and static optomechanical coupling tuning. Additionally, radiation pressure backaction has been demonstrated in an ultrahigh finesse regime up to F=165000.
