In this Letter we study a system consisting of two nearly degenerate mechanical modes that couple to single mode an optical cavity. We show coupling leads complete (99.5%) hybridization the into bright experiences strong optomechanical interactions and dark almost no interactions. use transfer energy between with 40% efficiency.
We describe measurements of the motional sidebands produced by a mechanical oscillator (with effective mass 43 ng and resonant frequency 705 kHz) that is placed in an optical cavity cooled close to its quantum ground state. The red blue (corresponding Stokes anti-Stokes scattering) from single laser beam are recorded simultaneously via heterodyne measurement. oscillator's mean phonon number $\overline{n}$ inferred ratio sidebands, reaches minimum value $0.84\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.22$...
Cavity optomechanics offers powerful methods for controlling optical fields and mechanical motion. A number of proposals have predicted that this control can be extended considerably in devices where multiple cavity modes couple to each other via the motion a single oscillator. Here we study dynamical properties such multimode optomechanical device, which coupling between results from mechanically-induced avoided crossings cavity's spectrum. Near find spring shows distinct features arise...
We measure the quantum fluctuations of a single acoustic mode in volume superfluid He that is coupled to an optical cavity. Specifically, we monitor Stokes and anti-Stokes light scattered by standing wave confined cavity mirrors. The intensity these signals (and their cross-correlation) exhibits characteristic features wave's zero-point motion backaction intracavity light.

Vibrational levels of the electronic ground states in dye molecules have not been previously explored at a high resolution solid matrices. We present new spectroscopic measurements on single polycyclic aromatic dibenzoterrylene embedded an organic crystal made para-dichlorobenzene. To do this, we use narrow-band continuous-wave lasers and combine spectroscopy methods based fluorescence excitation stimulated emission depletion to assess individual vibrational linewidths state ∼30 MHz dictated...

In contrast with recent work on the paraxial mode confined by cavity mirrors, we focus specifically associated surrounding This provides framework for understanding how depend geometry. The observed using technique optomechanically induced transparency/amplification. coupling these is found be predominantly photothermal.
We measure the quantum efficiency (QE) of individual dibenzoterrylene (DBT) molecules embedded in p-dichlorobenzene at cryogenic temperatures. To achieve this, we combine two distinct methods based on maximal photon emission and power required to saturate zero-phonon line compensate for uncertainties some key system parameters. find that outcomes approaches are good agreement reasonable values parameters involved, reporting a large fraction with QE above 50%, exceeding 70%. Furthermore,...
Integrated photonic circuits offer a promising route for studying coherent cooperative effects of controlled collection quantum emitters. However, spectral inhomogeneities, decoherence, and material incompatibilities in the solid state make this nontrivial task. Here, we demonstrate efficient coupling pair Fourier-limited organic molecules embedded polyethylene film to TiO 2 microdisc resonator on glass chip. Moreover, tune resonance frequencies emitters with respect that microresonator by...
We consider random nondirected networks subject to dynamics conserving vertex degrees and study, analytically numerically, equilibrium three-vertex motif distributions in the presence of an external field $h$ coupled one motifs.

The small cross-section of Raman scattering poses a great challenge for its direct study at the single-molecule level. By exploiting high Franck-Condon factor common-mode resonance, choosing large vibrational frequency difference in electronic ground and excited states operating $T<2\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K}$, we succeed driving coherent stimulated transition individual molecules. We observe model spectral splitting that serves as characteristic signature phenomenon hand. Our...
