Abstract
A novel and efficient method is proposed for generating mechanical squeezing in a double-cavity optomechanical system by introducing an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) with pump modulation (PM). The combined effects of periodic amplitude modulation of the driving laser and the OPA enable mechanical squeezing in both the resolved-sideband and unresolved-sideband regimes, with significantly enhanced squeezing observed in the resolved-sideband regime. The individual contributions of the OPA and PM to mechanical squeezing is systematically investigated, with results indicating that PM plays a more dominant role. Additionally, the proposed scheme demonstrates excellent robustness against environmental thermal noise. These findings highlight the potential of this approach for advancing quantum precision measurements and exploring macroscopic quantum phenomena.
期刊介绍:
Annalen der Physik (AdP) is one of the world''s most renowned physics journals with an over 225 years'' tradition of excellence. Based on the fame of seminal papers by Einstein, Planck and many others, the journal is now tuned towards today''s most exciting findings including the annual Nobel Lectures. AdP comprises all areas of physics, with particular emphasis on important, significant and highly relevant results. Topics range from fundamental research to forefront applications including dynamic and interdisciplinary fields. The journal covers theory, simulation and experiment, e.g., but not exclusively, in condensed matter, quantum physics, photonics, materials physics, high energy, gravitation and astrophysics. It welcomes Rapid Research Letters, Original Papers, Review and Feature Articles.
