辐射压力诱导强耦合光机械腔中的简正模式分裂和冷却

在解析边带机制下用量子郞之万方程研究一种由辐射压力与驱动Fabry-Perot光学腔相耦合而产生的光机械动力学行为。随着输入激光功率的增加,振子的涨落光谱呈现简正模式分裂的现象,并且结果和实验相符合。也推导了有效机械阻尼和共振频移。红移边带导致了机械模的冷却,蓝移边带引起了机械模的放大。此外,引入一种近似机制来研究振子的冷却。由于简正模式分裂和基态冷却都要求在解析边带机制下,这就需要考虑简正模式分裂是否会影响到振子的冷却。同时也讨论了操控基态冷却的关键因素。

Asymmetric 3D Elastic–Plastic Strain‐Modulated Electron Energy Structure in Monolayer Graphene by Laser Shocking

Graphene has a great potential to replace silicon in prospective semiconductor industries due to its outstanding electronic and transport properties; nonetheless, its lack of energy bandgap is a substantial limitation for practical applications. To date, straining graphene to break its lattice symmetry is perhaps the most efficient approach toward realizing bandgap tunability in graphene. However, due to the weak lattice deformation induced by uniaxial or in‐plane shear strain, most strained graphene studies have yielded bandgaps <1 eV. In this work, a modulated inhomogeneous local asymmetric elastic–plastic straining is reported that utilizes GPa‐level laser shocking at a high strain rate (dε/dt) ≈ 10⁶–10⁷ s^?1, with excellent formability, inducing tunable bandgaps in graphene of up to 2.1 eV, as determined by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. High‐resolution imaging and Raman spectroscopy reveal strain‐induced modifications to the atomic and electronic structure in graphene and first‐principles simulations predict the measured bandgap openings. Laser shock modulation of semimetallic graphene to a semiconducting material with controllable bandgap has the potential to benefit the electronic and optoelectronic industries.     

The synchronization and entanglement of optomechanical systems

We investigate synchronization and entanglement in two coupled cavity optomechanical systems. The classical synchronization, quantum synchronization and entanglement of the two cavity fields and the two mechanical oscillators are analysed, respectively. Our results show that the two cavity resonators are synchronization without entanglement, while the two mechanical oscillators are entangled with quantum-phase synchronization. We conclude that the quantum synchronization and entanglement have no affirmatory relationship although they are both signature of correlation.     

State transfer and entanglement of two mechanical oscillators in coupled cavity optomechanical system

We investigate coupled two-cavity optomechanical systems to show their potential usages by revealing the physical processes. Under two conditions, we deduce the correspondingly effective Hamiltonian with beam splitter type and nondegenerate parametric-down conversion type, respectively. Including the whole interactions, we show that the state transfer and the stationary entanglement between the two mechanical resonators can be achieved.     

Squeezing of the mechanical motion and beating 3 dB limit using dispersive optomechanical interactions

We study an optomechanical system consisting of an optical cavity and movable mirror coupled through dispersive linear optomechanical coupling (LOC) and quadratic optomechanical coupling (QOC). We work in the resolved side band limit with a high quality factor mechanical oscillator in a strong coupling regime. We show that the presence of QOC in the conventional optomechanical system (with LOC alone) modifies the mechanical oscillator’s frequency and reduces the back-action effects on mechanical oscillator. As a result of this the fluctuations in mechanical oscillator can be suppressed below standard quantum limit thereby squeeze the mechanical motion of resonator. We also show that either of the quadratures can be squeezed depending on the sign of the QOC. With detailed numerical calculations and analytical approximation we show that in such systems, the 3 dB limit can be beaten.     

Coherent coupling between an optomechanical membrane and an interacting photon Bose–Einstein condensate

In this paper, we study theoretically the optomechanical interaction of an interacting condensate of photons with an oscillating mechanical membrane in a microcavity. We show that in the Bogoliubov approximation, due to the large number of photons in the condensate, there is a linear strong effective coupling between the Bogoliubov mode of the photonic Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) and the mechanical motion of the membrane which depends on the photon–photon scattering potential. This coupling leads to the cooling of the mechanical motion, the normal mode splitting (NMS), the squeezing of the output field and the entanglement between the excited mode of the cavity and the mechanical mode. Since the photon condensation occurs at room temperature, this hybrid system can be potentially considered as a room temperature source of squeezed light as well as a suited candidate for exploring the quantum effects. We show that, on one hand, the non-linearity of the photon gas increases the degree of the squeezing of the output field of the microcavity and the efficiency of the cooling process at high temperatures. On the other hand, it reduces the NMS in the displacement spectrum of the oscillating membrane and the degree of the optomechanical entanglement. In addition, the temperature of the photonic BEC can be used to control the above-mentioned phenomena.
