Backaction limits on self-sustained optomechanical oscillations (1211.1579v1)

Published 7 Nov 2012 in physics.optics

Abstract: The maximum amplitude of mechanical oscillators coupled to optical cavities are studied both analytically and numerically. The optical backaction on the resonator enables self-sustained oscillations whose limit cycle is set by the dynamic range of the cavity. The maximum attainable amplitude and the phonon generation quantum efficiency of the backaction process are studied for both unresolved and resolved cavities. Quantum efficiencies far exceeding one are found in the resolved sideband regime where the amplitude is low. On the other hand the maximum amplitude is found in the unresolved system. Finally, the role of mechanical nonlinearities is addressed.
