Constraining modified gravity with quantum optomechanics
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We derive the best possible bounds that can be placed on Yukawa- and chameleon-like modifications to the Newtonian gravitational potential with a cavity optomechanical quantum sensor.

Sensors, 2018 Brillouin-Enhanced Four-Wave-Mixing techniques, which couple four optical beams through Brillouin nonlinearity, have gained popularity in the 1980’s largely owing to their phase conjugation properties.

Optomechanically Induced Birefringence and Optomechanically Induced Faraday Effect
Physical Review Letters, 2019 We demonstrate an optomechanical platform where optical mode conversion mediated by mechanical motion enables the arbitrary tailoring of polarization states of propagating light fields. Optomechanical interactions are realized in a Fabry-Pérot resonator, which naturally supports two polarization-degenerate states while an optical control field induces ...

Slot-mode optomechanical crystals: a versatile platform for multimode optomechanics
Optica, 2015 We demonstrate slot-mode optomechanical crystals, a class of device in which photonic and phononic crystal nanobeam resonators separated by a narrow slot are coupled through optomechanical interactions. In these geometries, nanobeam pairs are patterned so that a mechanical breathing mode is confined at the center of one beam, and a high quality factor (

Damping and non-linearity of a levitating magnet in rotation above a superconductor
New Journal of Physics, 2014 We study the dissipation of moving magnets in levitation above a superconductor. The rotation motion is analyzed using optical tracking techniques. It displays a remarkable regularity together with long damping time up to several hours.

Combined feedback and sympathetic cooling of a mechanical oscillator coupled to ultracold atoms
New Journal of Physics, 2018 A promising route to novel quantum technologies are hybrid quantum systems, which combine the advantages of several individual quantum systems. We have realized a hybrid atomic-mechanical experiment consisting of a Si _3 N _4 membrane oscillator ...

Optomechanical trampoline resonators
Optics Express, 2011 We report on the development of optomechanical "trampoline" resonators composed of a tiny SiO(2)/Ta(2)O(5) dielectric mirror on a silicon nitride micro-resonator. We observe optical finesses of up to 4 × 10(4) and mechanical quality factors as high as 9 × 10(5) in relatively massive (~100 ng) and low frequency (10-200 kHz) devices.

Probing wave function collapse models with a classically driven mechanical oscillator
New Journal of Physics, 2016 We show that the interaction of a pulsed laser light with a mechanical oscillator through the radiation pressure results in an opto-mechanical entangled state in which the photon number is correlated with the oscillator position.

Strong squeezing via phonon mediated spontaneous generation of photon pairs
New Journal of Physics, 2014 We propose a scheme for generating squeezed light by using a double-cavity optomechanical system driven by a blue detuned laser in one cavity and by a red detuned laser in the other.
