Optomechanical entanglement between a movable mirror and a cavity field

We show how stationary entanglement between an optical cavity field mode and a macroscopic vibrating mirror can be generated by means of radiation pressure. We also show how the generated optomechanical entanglement can be quantified, and we suggest an experimental readout scheme to fully characterize the entangled state. Surprisingly, such optomechanical entanglement is shown to persist for environment temperatures above 20 K using state-of-the-art experimental parameters.     

Thermodynamics of nonequilibrium radiation. (II) Irreversible evolution and experimental setup

Giving continuation to the study of the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium radiation presented in the preceding article [Physica A 300 (2001) 386], we derive the evolution in time of its macroscopic nonequilibrium state. The case of a semiconductor sample and the coupling of radiation and transverse optical phonons is explicitly considered. Excitation of the latter drives the radiation field out of equilibrium. Under constant excitation, a steady state sets in which is analyzed. It is shown that the quasitemperature per mode of the radiation field, which has been defined in the preceding paper, can be determined in optical experiments such as Raman scattering.     

Laser-induced hydrodynamic instability of fluid interfaces

We report on a new class of electromagnetically driven fluid interface instability. Using the optical radiation pressure of a cw laser to bend a very soft near-critical liquid-liquid interface, we show that it becomes unstable for sufficiently large beam power P, leading to the formation of a stationary beam-centered liquid microjet. We explore the behavior of the instability onset by tuning the interface softness with temperature and varying the size of the exciting beam. The instability mechanism is experimentally demonstrated. It simply relies on total reflection of light at the deformed interface whose condition provides the universal scaling relation for the onset P(S) of the instability.     

Analysis of radiation-pressure induced mechanical oscillation of an optical microcavity

The theoretical work of Braginsky predicted that radiation pressure can couple the mechanical, mirror eigenmodes of a Fabry-Pérot resonator to its optical modes, leading to a parametric oscillation instability. This regime is characterized by regenerative mechanical oscillation of the mechanical mirror eigenmodes. We have recently observed the excitation of mechanical modes in an ultrahigh Q optical microcavity. Here, we present a detailed experimental analysis of this effect and demonstrate that radiation pressure is the excitation mechanism of the observed mechanical oscillations.     

RADIATION THERMOMETRY OF SILICON WAFERS IN A DIFFUSION FURNACE WITH ROD-TYPE AND PRISM-TYPE OPTICAL GUIDES

This article examines the accuracy of radiation thermometry in measuring the temperature of silicon wafers in a diffusion furnace. This technique uses optical guides to bring thermal radiation from the wafers to the outside of the furnace. The error due to veiling glare of a rod-type optical guide is 40°C and that of a prism-type is 0.5°C at steady state.     

Steady and transient behavior of perylene under high pressure

Pressure can reduce the distances among atoms, thereby modifying the overall optical characteristics of molecules. In this article, the excited state behavior of perylene is carefully observed under isotropic pressure and non-complexing condition. In a steady state, absorption peak shows red shift and spectral width are broadened with pressure increasing, which is ascribed to the π-electron delocalization between molecules. In a transient state, the transition dynamics presents a wavelike tendency with pressure increasing because the shift of self-tapping exciton state is contrary to that of Y-state with pressure increasing. The results conduce to understanding the influence of inter-molecule interaction on excited state behavior with inter-molecule distance decreasing, which contributes to studying the materials under extreme condition.     

Electronic and optical properties of asymmetric GaAs double quantum dots in intense laser fields

In the present work, we investigated the effect of an intense non-resonant laser field on the electronic structure and the nonlinear optical properties (the light absorption, the optical rectification) of a GaAs asymmetric double quantum dot under a strong probe field excitation. The calculations were performed within the compact-density matrix formalism under the steady state conditions with the use of the effective mass approximation. The obtained results show that: (i) the electronic structure and, consequently, the optical properties are sensitive to the dressed potential; (ii) the changes in the incident light polarisation lead to blue or redshifts in the intraband optical absorption spectrum; (iii) for specific values of the structure parameters and under an intense laser illumination, the asymmetric double quantum dots can be a good candidate for NOR emission of THz radiation.     

Optical dilution and feedback cooling of a gram-scale oscillator to 6.9 mK

We report on the use of a radiation pressure induced restoring force, the optical spring effect, to optically dilute the mechanical damping of a 1 g suspended mirror, which is then cooled by active feedback (cold damping). Optical dilution relaxes the limit on cooling imposed by mechanical losses, allowing the oscillator mode to reach a minimum temperature of 6.9 mK, a factor of approximately 40 000 below the environmental temperature. A further advantage of the optical spring effect is that it can increase the number of oscillations before decoherence by several orders of magnitude. In the present experiment we infer an increase in the dynamical lifetime of the state by a factor of approximately 200.     

Radiation sensitivity of thick core all-glass fibers in reactor radiation fields

Radiation induced losses and the recovery behavior of several optical fibers have been determined by in situ steady state and by pulse measurements in a nuclear reactor. Agreement with the literature was found for Suprasil and Fibropsil core fibers in ionizing radiation, but our results on Suprasil-W core fibers show an appreciably higher radiation hardness of this material than reported elsewhere. Additionally, increased long term losses were observed, when the mixed radiation flux contained a noticeable content of neutrons.     

Mutual adaptation of a Faraday instability pattern with its flexible boundaries in floating fluid drops

Hydrodynamic instabilities are usually investigated in confined geometries where the resulting spatiotemporal pattern is constrained by the boundary conditions. Here we study the Faraday instability in domains with flexible boundaries. This is implemented by triggering this instability in floating fluid drops. An interaction of Faraday waves with the shape of the drop is observed, the radiation pressure of the waves exerting a force on the surface tension held boundaries. Two regimes are observed. In the first one there is a coadaptation of the wave pattern with the shape of the domain so that a steady configuration is reached. In the second one the radiation pressure dominates and no steady regime is reached. The drop stretches and ultimately breaks into smaller domains that have a complex dynamics including spontaneous propagation.     

Mechanical mode dependence of bolometric backaction in an atomic force microscopy microlever

Two backaction (BA) processes generated by an optical cavity-based detection device can deeply transform the dynamical behavior of an atomic force microscopy microlever: the photothermal force or the radiation pressure. Whereas noise damping or amplifying depends on the optical cavity response for radiation pressure BA, we present experimental results carried out under vacuum and at room temperature on the photothermal BA process which appears to be more complex. We show for the first time that it can simultaneously act on two vibration modes in opposite directions: Noise on one mode is amplified, whereas it is damped on another mode. Basic modeling of photothermal BA shows that the dynamical effect on the mechanical mode is laser spot position-dependent with respect to mode shape. This analysis accounts for opposite behaviors of different modes as observed.     

The Nonlinear Effects of a Kerr-Resonator Optomechanical System

Optomechanics describes the interaction of optical field with mechanical systems via radiation pressure which provides the interface between photons and phonons. Recently, the study of nonlinear behavior of optomechanical system attracts much attention. This paper studies theoretically the nonlinear behavior due to the presence of a Kerr nonlinear crystal inside an optomechanical microcavity. We first give an effective Hamiltonian of the system, then by solving the amplitude of both the optical and mechanical operators, two kinds of nonlinear effects, the bistability and the parametric gain on the mechanical mode of the system, are investigated. Moreover, we find that the intensity of the mechanical mode could be controlled in the presence of the nonlinear media.     

A Dynamic Model of Heavy Ion ~7Li Irradiation Mutagenesis Based on Maize Inbred Line Nutrition Difference

To reveal the saddle-type dose effect relationship, we propose a radiation mutagenesis model based on maize nutrition difference resulting from heavy ion ~7Li radiation. Through irradiation mutagenesis, apparent trait selection, amino acids and fatty acids content determination, and modeling, dynamic evolution from microscopic damage and repair initiation to the final macroscopic biological effects are considered simultaneously. The results show that the steady state nature is independent of evolution time and only relates to different radiation doses.Heavy ion ~7Li radiation could effectively cause maize phenotypic variation and could improve nutritional quality.This model not only gives a good fit to the experimental results on most types of amino acids and fatty acids, but also offers an adequate explanation of the experimental phenomenon underlying the saddle-type bimodal dose effect. By combining experimental results with theoretical analyses, we suggest that the synergy of the stimulus effect and momentum transfer is the main cause of the saddle-type dose effect bimodal curve. This provides an effective strategy for conducting maize germplasm innovation.

Relationship between the real contact area and contact force in pre-sliding regime

The pre-sliding regime is typically neglected in the dynamic modelling of mechanical systems. However, the change in contact state caused by static friction may decrease positional accuracy and control precision. To investigate the relationship between contact status and contact force in pre-sliding friction, an optical experimental method is presented in this paper.With this method, the real contact state at the interface of a transparent material can be observed based on the total reflection principle of light by using an image processing technique. A novel setup, which includes a pair of rectangular trapezoidal blocks, is proposed to solve the challenging issue of accurately applying different tangential and normal forces to the contact interface. The improved Otsu's method is used for measurement. Through an experimental study performed on polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA), the quantity of contact asperities is proven to be the dominant factor that affects the real contact area. The relationship between the real contact area and the contact force in the pre-sliding regime is studied, and the distribution of static friction at the contact interface is qualitatively discussed. New phenomena in which the real contact area expands along with increasing static friction are identified. The aforementioned relationship is approximately linear at the contact interface under a constant normal pressure, and the distribution of friction stress decreases from the leading edge to the trailing edge.

Experimental and theoretical studies of the evolution of normal spectral emissivity during successive steps of tungsten oxidation

We studied the influence of oxidation on the normal spectral emissivity of tungsten in the wavelength range 1–10 μm under well-controlled conditions. The optical measurements have been performed under an oxygen pressure of 1.3 Pa and in the temperature range 800–1000 K, until the oxide was thick enough to be opaque to the radiation concerned. The experimental curves of emissivity versus exposure show an induction time followed by a maximum before a steady-state value is reached. In conjunction with a growth model, supported by X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy studies, we propose an optical model of heterogeneous media which correctly accounts for the observed variations of emissivity during the whole reaction. By inserting the optical constants of the various media into this model, we show that it is possible to characterize, by emissivity the morphology of the oxide on the surface during the reaction, until the oxide is thick enough to be opaque.     

Scaling of optical forces in dielectric waveguides: rigorous connection between radiation pressure and dispersion

We show that eigenmodes of dielectric optical waveguides exert surface dilation forces on waveguide boundaries owing to radiation pressure, and we develop an exact scaling law relating modal dispersion of an arbitrary dielectric waveguide to the magnitude of optical forces generated by radiation pressure. This result points to highly dispersive waveguides as an optimal choice for the generation of large optical forces in nano-optomechanical systems. Exact agreement with ab initio calculations is demonstrated.     

Giant deformations of a liquid-liquid interface induced by the optical radiation pressure

Because of the small momentum of photons, very intense fields are generally required to bend a liquid interface with the optical radiation pressure. We explore this issue in a near-critical phase-separated liquid mixture to vary continuously the meniscus softness by tuning the temperature. Low power continuous laser waves become sufficient to induce huge stationary bulges. Using the beam size to build an "optical" Bond number, Bo, we investigate the crossover from low to large Bo. The whole set of data collapses onto a single master curve which illustrates the universality of the phenomenon.
