Generation of non-classical states of mirror motion in the single-photon strong-coupling regime
Abstract:
When a trichromatic laser field is applied to a cavity optomechanical system within the single-photon strong-coupling regime, we find that the motion of mirror can evolve into a dark state such that the cavity field mode cannot absorb energy from the external field. Via tuning three components of the pumping field to be resonant to the carrier, red-sideband and blue-sideband transitions in the displaced representation respectively, the state of mirror motion can exhibit non-classical properties, such as that in the Lamb-Dicke limit, the state evolves into a squeezed coherent state, and beyond the limit, the state can become a squeezed non-Gaussian state.
