摘要:

机械谐振器的品质因数是各种传感应用和观察量子行为的重要品质因数。在这里,我们展示了一种技术,推动的品质因数的微机械谐振器超越传统的材料和制造限制,通过使用光场来捕获或“陷阱”一个特定的运动模式。光学力通过将大部分机械能存储在无损光学势中来增加振荡频率,从而强烈地稀释材料耗散的效果。通过使用130 nm厚的SiO $_2$盘作为悬摆,我们实现了摆质心频率从6.2 kHz增加到145 kHz。相应的品质因数从其固有值增加50倍到最终值$Q=5.8(1.1)\times 10^5$,表示超过该几何形状的SiO $_2$的常规限制的一个数量级的改进。我们的技术可能为机械传感提供新的机会,并促进这类机械系统中量子行为的观察。

英文摘要:

The quality factor of a mechanical resonator is an important figure of merit for various sensing applications and for observing quantum behavior. Here, we demonstrate a technique to push the quality factor of a micro-mechanical resonator beyond conventional material and fabrication limits by using an optical field to stiffen or "trap" a particular motional mode. Optical forces increase the oscillation frequency by storing most of the mechanical energy in a lossless optical potential, thereby strongly diluting the effect of material dissipation. By using a 130 nm thick SiO$_2$ disk as a suspended pendulum, we achieve an increase in the pendulum center-of-mass frequency from 6.2 kHz to 145 kHz. The corresponding quality factor increases 50-fold from its intrinsic value to a final value of $Q=5.8(1.1)\times 10^5$, representing more than an order of magnitude improvement over the conventional limits of SiO$_2$ for this geometry. Our technique may enable new opportunities for mechanical sensing and facilitate observations of quantum behavior in this class of mechanical systems.
