We also review opto-mechanical systems that contain both mechanical oscillators two different types of mechanical oscillators. The first one is a clamped mechanical oscillator, such as a cantilever, with a fixed frequency. The second one is an optically trapped nano-diamond with a built-in nitrogen-vacancy center. By coupling mechanical resonators with electron spins, we can use the spins to control the motion of mechanical oscillators. For the first setup, we discuss two different coupling mechanisms, which are magnetic coupling and strain induced coupling. We summarize their applications such as cooling the mechanical oscillator, generating entanglements between NV centers, squeezing spin ensembles etc. For the second setup, we discuss how to generate quantum superposition states with magnetic coupling, and realize matter wave interferometer. We will also review its applications as ultra-sensitive mass spectrometer. Finally, we discuss new coupling mechanisms and applications of the field.展开更多

The next detectors will need to have greater sensitivity, while also enabling the world array of detectors to have improved angular resolution to allow localisation of signal sources. Sect. 1 of this paper begins by reviewing proposals for the next ground based detectors,and presents an analysis of the sensitivity of an 8 km armlength detector, which is proposed as a safe and cost-effective means to attain a 4-fold improvement in sensitivity. The scientific benefits of creating a pair of such detectors in China and Australia is emphasised. Sect. 2 of this paper discusses the high performance suspension systems for test masses that will be an essential component for future detectors, while sect. 3 discusses solutions to the problem of Newtonian noise which arise from fluctuations in gravity gradient forces acting on test masses. Such gravitational perturbations cannot be shielded, and set limits to low frequency sensitivity unless measured and suppressed. Sects. 4 and 5 address critical operational technologies that will be ongoing issues in future detectors. Sect. 4 addresses the design of thermal compensation systems needed in all high optical power interferometers operating at room temperature. Parametric instability control is addressed in sect. 5. Only recently proven to occur in Advanced LIGO, parametric instability phenomenon brings both risks and opportunities for future detectors. The path to future enhancements of detectors will come from quantum measurement technologies. Sect. 6 focuses on the use of optomechanical devices for obtaining enhanced sensitivity, while sect. 7 reviews a range of quantum measurement options.展开更多

It is found that in such LCEs, material parameters such as the Young’s modulus and the stress-free strains will become nonhomogeneous under light irradiations. One may call them the light-induced functionally gradient materials. Analytical expressions for the dependence of the material parameters on the space varia- ble and possibly on the time variable are obtained. Exponential dependence can be derived under certain approximations. As an example, the light-induced bending of a beam is studied. Two neutral planes are found in the beam. Thus, along the thickness of the beam, there are extensions in the upper and lower parts and contractions in the middle.展开更多

It was indi- cated that by manipulating so called ＂general energybands＂ of fundamental particles or quasi-particles, such as photon, phonon, and surface plasmon polariton （SPP）, novel optoelectronic characteristics can be obtained, which results in a series of new functional devices. A silicon based optical switch with an extremely broadband of 24 nm and an ultra-compact （8 μm -17.6μm） footprint was demonstrated with a photonic crystal slow light waveguides. By proposing a nanobeam based hereto optomechanical crystal, a high phonon frequency of 5.66 GHz was realized experimentally. Also, we observed and verified a novel effect of two-surface-plasmon-absorption （TSPA）, and realized diffraction-limit-overcoming photolithography with resolution of-1/11 of the exposure wavelength.展开更多
