Optomechanical cooling by STIRAP-assisted energy transfer: an alternative route towards the mechanical ground state

Standard optomechanical cooling methods ideally require weak coupling and cavity damping rates which enable the motional sidebands to be well resolved. If the coupling is too large then sideband-resolved cooling is unstable or the rotating wave approximation can become invalid. In this work we descr...
