Cooling of a Micro-Mechanical Oscillator Using Radiation-Pressure Induced Dynamical Backaction

Cooling of a Micro-Mechanical Oscillator Using Radiation-Pressure Induced Dynamical Backaction

We demonstrate how dynamical backaction of radiation pressure can be exploited for passive laser-cooling of high-frequency (> 40 MHz) mechanical oscillation modes of ultra-high-finesse optical microcavities from room temperature to 8 K.
