The field of cavity optomechanics is reviewed. This field explores the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and nanomechanical or micromechanical motion. This review …

The coupling of mechanical and optical degrees of freedom via radiation pressure has been
a subject of early research in the context of gravitational wave detection. Recent …

“Cavity-optomechanics” aims to study the quantum properties of mechanical systems. A
common strategy implemented in order to achieve this goal couples a high finesse photonic …

The recent observation on radiation-pressure-driven self-sustained oscillation in high-Q
optical microresonators has created new possibilities for development of photonic devices …

Whether intentionally introduced to exert control over particles and macroscopic objects,
such as for trap** or cooling, or whether arising from the quantum and thermal fluctuations …

We study the effect of laser phase noise on the generation of stationary entanglement
between an intracavity optical mode and a mechanical resonator in a generic cavity …

Frequency locking and other phenomena emerging from nonlinear interactions between
mechanical oscillators are of scientific and technological importance. However, existing …
