"Study of Weak Measurement Amplification in Simple Optomechanical Systems"

MANOJ DAS

Abstract We have studied the amplification in displacement of the mechanical mirror in a simple optomechanical system. Here photon number acts as system and the mirror acts as the meter. In the weak coupling condition, post selection of the photon number operator enhance the value of mirror displacement. The displacement of the mirror depends on the weak value of the photon number operator and on the value of relative phase(φ) between the pre and post selected states. Amplification of the mirror can be seen for maximum coupling strength(.25Ω m ) in weak coupling criteria for optomechanical systems, Ωm being the mechanical frequency.

Squeezed Optomechanics with Phase-Matched Amplification and Dissipation

Xin‐You Lü, Ying Wu, J. R. Johansson +3 more

We investigate the nonlinear interaction between a squeezed cavity mode and a mechanical mode in an optomechanical system (OMS) that allows us to selectively obtain either a radiation-pressure coupling or a parametric-amplification process. The squeezing of the cavity mode can enhance the interaction strength into the single-photon strong-coupling regime, even when the OMS is originally in the weak-coupling regime. Moreover, the noise of the squeezed mode can be suppressed completely by introducing a broadband-squeezed vacuum environment that is phase matched with the parametric amplification that squeezes the cavity mode. This proposal offers an alternative approach to control the OMS using a squeezed cavity mode, which should allow single-photon quantum processes to be implemented with currently available optomechanical technology. Potential applications range from engineering single-photon sources to nonclassical phonon states.

Implementation of weak measurement amplification with the weak coherent light and optomechanical system

Gang Li, Wen Yang

Abstract Most studies for postselected weak measurement in optomechanical system focus on using a single photon as a measured system. However, we find that using weak coherent light instead of a single photon can also amplify the mirror’s position displacement of one photon. In the weak value amplification (WVA) regime, the weak value of one photon can lie outside the eigenvalue spectrum, proportional to the difference of the mirror’s position displacement between the successful and failed postselection and its successful postselection probability is dependent of the mean photon number of the coherent light and improved by adjusting it accordingly. Outside the WVA regime, the amplification limit can reach the level of the vacuum fluctuations, and when the mean photon number and the optomechanical coupling parameter are selected appropriately, its successful postselection probability becomes higher, which is beneficial to observe the maximum amplification value under the current experimental conditions. This result breaks the constraint that it is difficult to detect outside the WVA regime. This opens up a new regime for the study of a single photon nonlinearity in optomechanical system.
