Forced and self-excited oscillations of an optomechanical cavity
Forced and self-excited oscillations of an optomechanical cavity
We experimentally study forced and self-excited oscillations of an optomechanical cavity, which is formed between a fiber Bragg grating that serves as a static mirror and a freely suspended metallic mechanical resonator that serves as a moving mirror. In the domain of small amplitude mechanical oscillations, we find that the …
