Normal mode splitting and ground state cooling in a Fabry-Perot optical cavity and transmission line resonator

Optomechanical dynamics in two systems which are a transmission line resonator and Fabrya-Perot optical cavity via radiation-pressure are investigated by linearized quantum Langevin equation. We work in the resolved sideband regime where the oscillator resonance frequency exceeds the cavity linewidth. Normal mode splittings of the mechanical resonator as a pure result of the coupling interaction in the two optomechanical systems is studied, and we make a comparison of normal mode splitting of mechanical resonator between the two systems. In the optical cavity, the normal mode splitting of the movable mirror approaches the latest experiment very well. In addition, an approximation scheme is introduced to demonstrate the ground state cooling, and we make a comparison of cooling between the two systems dominated by two key factors, which are the initial bath temperature and the mechanical quality factor. Since both the normal mode splitting and cooling require working in the resolved sideband regime, whether the normal mode splitting influences the cooling of the mirror is considered. Considering the size of the mechanical resonator and precooling the system, the mechanical resonator in the transmission line resonator system is easier to achieve the ground state cooling than in optical cavity.     

二能级原子与高品质因子腔的自发辐射特性

用全量子理论研究二能级原子单模腔耦合系统,通过理论推导和数值计算得出系统的自发辐射光谱和平均粒子数密度.共振时腔与原子的发射光谱在强耦合与弱耦合区域有所不同,腔发射光谱分裂只出现于强耦合区域,而原子发射光谱由于腔感应透明效应在弱耦合区域出现了缺口.本文系统地研究了原子与腔在失谐时的发射光谱,在好腔机理(腔线宽小于原子线宽g)原子与腔即使在大失谐时腔发射出腔频率的光子,这给当前实验上困惑的特性提供了一个理论依据.为了给腔感应透明效应一个新的深入了解,还研究了原子与腔平均粒子数密度随时间的演化,以及平均粒子数密度与光强度之间的关系. 关键词： 自发辐射 强耦合 腔感应透明 好腔机理     

量子点腔非谐振耦合系统纯退相干的特性及应用

采用非相干泵浦、受激辐射和纯退相干的量子主方程研究了量子点腔耦合系统,得出腔与量子点发射光谱解析解.理论分析显示,在非谐振耦合系统中纯退相干能使腔发射谱产生明显的移位效应,从而可以解释“非谐振耦合腔有效发射”效应.为了进一步研究纯退相干在量子点腔耦合系统上的应用,引入了系统有效耦合率和单光子源效率,并通过比较有效耦合率与腔耗散定义出好腔与坏腔机制.选取两组依据实验数据作为参量,在共振与失谐时研究了纯退相干对系统有效耦合率和单光子源效率的影响.结果表明:纯退相干可提高失谐系统有效耦合率与单光子源效率,从而可能使坏腔转变为好腔|两组参量中有较大耦合效率一组在一定范围内满足好腔机制,其单光子源效率明显优于另一组.在非谐振耦合系统比较了好腔机制与坏腔机制的激光,好腔机制是实现单量子点激光的必要条件|由于非谐振耦合系统Fano因子无最大值出现,从而该系统可能无激光阈值.     

Optomechanical entanglement in a whispering-gallery cavity

The dynamics of the optomechanical entanglement between optical cavity field modes and a macroscopic mechanical breathing mode in a whispering-gallery cavity as well as the continuous variable entanglement between the phase-quadrature amplitudes of the two whispering-gallery modes have been analysed.Simulated results indicate that under state-of-the-art experimental conditions,optomechanical entanglement is obvious and can occur even at temperatures of above 40 K.Compared with the entanglement of the mechanical oscillator at the ground state temperature,optomechanical entanglement is more intense by several orders of magnitude.
