Motional Sideband Asymmetry of a Solid-State Mechanical Resonator at Room Temperature

Tobias Kippenberg, Alberto Beccari, Amirali Arabmoheghi, Nils Johan Engelsen, Guanhao Huang

The motional sideband asymmetry of a mechanical oscillator interacting with a laser field can be observed when approaching the quantum ground state, where the zero-point energy of the mechanical oscillator becomes a sizable contribution to its motion. In t ...

Fiber-Coupled Absorption-based Quantum Sensing with Nitrogen Vacancy Ensembles in a Suspended Diamond Photonic Cavity

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Amirali Arabmoheghi

Low photon extraction efficiency limits the optical spin readout fidelity in emerging quantum sensing technologies in diamond. Here, we propose and fabricate integrated diamond nanoprobes based on cavity-enhanced IR absorption of embedded Nitrogen Vacancy ...

Ultralow Dissipation Mechanical Resonators for Cavity-Free Quantum Control

Tobias Kippenberg, Alberto Beccari, Amirali Arabmoheghi, Nils Johan Engelsen, Guanhao Huang

We fabricate nanomechanical resonators with Q > 109 at room temperature and show efficient optical readout of their motion. With an improved interferometer, these devices can be cooled close to the ground state without a cavity. ...

Hierarchical tensile structures with ultralow mechanical dissipation

Tobias Kippenberg, Sergey Fedorov, Alberto Beccari, Amirali Arabmoheghi, Nils Johan Engelsen

Structural hierarchy is found in myriad biological systems and has improved man-made structures ranging from the Eiffel tower to optical cavities. In mechanical resonators whose rigidity is provided by static tension, structural hierarchy can reduce the di ...

Thermal intermodulation noise in cavity-based measurements

Tobias Kippenberg, Alberto Beccari, Amirali Arabmoheghi, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Sergey Fedorov

Thermal frequency fluctuations in optical cavities limit the sensitivity of precision experiments ranging from gravitational wave observatories to optical atomic clocks. Conventional modeling of these noises assumes a linear response of the optical field t ...
