Physical Review A

Quadrature-squeezed light and optomechanical entanglement in a dissipative optomechanical system with a mechanical parametric drive

Abstract

We propose a scheme for producing the phase squeezing of the output light in a dissipative optomechanical coupling system. This is achieved by applying a degenerate parametric drive on the mechanical oscillator. We also show that this scheme is capable of generating the stationary entanglement between an optical cavity field and a macroscopic mechanical oscillator. The effects of the strength of the mechanical parametric drive, the power of the input laser, the temperature of the environment on the output phase squeezing, and the optomechanical entanglement are investigated. For a temperature of 20 mK, we find that up to 9 dB of the output phase squeezing and the large optomechanical entanglement can be achieved.

Mechanical squeezing in a dissipative optomechanical system with an optical parametric amplifier

Sumei Huang, Aixi Chen

We theoretically demonstrate that an especially tuned degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) inside a cavity can lead to the momentum squeezing of a moving membrane in a dissipative optomechanical system. The momentum squeezing of the membrane depends on the parametric gain and the parametric phase of the OPA, the power of the external laser driving the cavity, and the temperature of the environment. The best achievable momentum squeezing is about 2.53 dB, which is limited by the OPA. Moreover, we show that the momentum squeezing of the membrane can be detected by directly measuring the cavity output field. In addition, we find that the mechanical squeezing can be enhanced to about 10.36 dB under the joint effect of the OPA and an input broadband squeezed vacuum field.

Universality of Stationary Entanglement in an Optomechanical System Driven by Non-Markovian Noise and Squeezed Light

Su Direkci, Klemens Winkler, Corentin Gut +2 more

Optomechanical systems subjected to environmental noise give rise to rich physical phenomena. We investigate entanglement between a mechanical oscillator and the reflected coherent optical field in a general, not necessarily Markovian environment. For the input optical field, we consider stationary Gaussian states and frequency-dependent squeezing. We demonstrate that for a coherent laser drive, either unsqueezed or squeezed in a frequency-independent manner, optomechanical entanglement is destroyed after a threshold that depends only on the environmental noises-independent of the coherent coupling between the oscillator and the optical field, or the squeeze factor. In this way, we have found a universal entangling-disentangling transition. We also show that for a configuration in which the oscillator and the reflected field are separable, entanglement cannot be generated by incorporating frequency-dependent squeezing in the optical field.

Generating of squeezed state and entanglement in cavity optomechanical system

Taha Yousif

We study theoretically a two-mode optomechanical system where two cavity modes are coupled to a single mechanical mode. It is shown that the whole system can yield good squeezing, which is comparable to that produced by dispersive coupling, the numerical results which we obtained showed periodic oscillations with a maximum peaks in one of the two quadrature component with a value less than 0.5. We also showed that entanglement can be achieved by calculating the variance in quadrature component of the field operators. Our results are useful in non- degenerate parametric oscillation.

Squeezing of a Mechanical Oscillator in a Dissipative Optomechanical System with Duffing Nonlinearity

Sumei Huang, Li Deng, Aixi Chen

ABSTRACT The quadrature‐squeezed state of a macroscopic mechanical oscillator plays a key role in enhancing the precision of quantum measurements. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that the steady‐state displacement squeezing of a membrane in a purely dissipative optomechanical system can be generated via the Duffing nonlinearity of the membrane when the cavity is driven by a red‐detuned laser. The mechanical squeezing results from a combination of the Duffing nonlinearity and the cooling of the membrane induced by the red‐detuned laser. We find that the maximum achievable squeezing is over 6 dB at a temperature of 10 mK in the resolved‐sideband regime. We show that a larger Duffing nonlinear strength or a smaller cavity decay rate causes the strong displacement squeezing exceeding 3 dB to emerge at a lower input laser power. And the strong mechanical squeezing beyond 3 dB can be achieved at a temperature of 10 mK even outside the resolved sideband regime. The generated mechanical squeezing is robust against the thermal noise of the membrane. Moreover, we show that the mechanical squeezing can be detected directly through homodyning detection of the cavity output field.

Enhanced entanglement of two distant mechanical oscillators in a two-cascaded-cavity optomechanical system via optical parametric amplifier

Meimei Zhou, Sumei Huang, Li Deng +1 more

The generation of quantum entanglement in macroscopic systems remains a longstanding challenge. In this paper, we study theoretically the stationary entanglement of the two remote mechanical oscillators in a two-cascaded-cavity optomechanical system with a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) inside the first cavity. The two cavity modes in each cavity are driven at the red- and blue-sideband frequencies. The logarithmic negativity is used to quantify the amount of the stationary mechanical entanglement. We find that the stationary mechanical entanglement depends on the parametric gain and phase of the OPA, the input laser powers, the cavity decay rates, and the temperature of the environment. We show that it is possible to enhance the stationary mechanical entanglement by the use of the OPA, and the optimal enhancement of the stationary mechanical entanglement happens at the parametric phase 𝜋 / 2 of the OPA. At lower temperatures, the OPA exhibits a more significant improvement effect on the stationary mechanical entanglement.
