This research demonstrates a breakthrough in levitated optomechanics by successfully reducing noise in a phonon laser through pulse-modulated trapping techniques. The achievement of classical squeezing for both fundamental and second-harmonic modes advances precision metrology and the study of nonlinear phononics without relying on quantum entanglement yet. This work highlights significant progress in controlling mechanical oscillators, bridging the gap between macroscopic systems and high-precision sensing applications.
Levitated Optomechanics Squeeze Phonon Lasers by 3.15 dB
Researchers achieved thermomechanical squeezing in a phonon laser using levitated optomechanics, reducing noise by 3.15 dB.
Researchers have achieved a 3.15 ± 0.35 decibel squeeze in a thermomechanically driven phonon laser using a levitated optomechanical system, a result previously unattained for classical squeezing of phonon lasers. The team, led by Guangzong Xiao, induced non-adiabatic frequency…
