Phase-noise induced limitations on cooling and coherent evolution in optomechanical systems

Phase-noise induced limitations on cooling and coherent evolution in optomechanical systems

We present a detailed theoretical discussion of the effects of ubiquitous laser noise on cooling and the coherent dynamics in optomechanical systems. Phase fluctuations of the driving laser induce modulations of the linearized optomechanical coupling as well as a fluctuating force on the mirror due to variations of the mean …
