Floquet dynamics in photonic crystal optomechanical nanoresonator

Abstract

Cavity optomechanical systems are useful to explore fundamental properties of mechanical and optical resonators. Relying on the strong nonlinearities naturally existing in these multitimescale systems, the use of non-trivial excitation reveals to be a key to explore new dynamics regimes. Recently, it has been experimentally demonstrated that accurate quantum thermometry is achievable in a coherently modulated optomechanical resonator in the resolved sideband regime.
