Controllable Optical Bistability and Four-Wave Mixing in a Photonic-Molecule Optomechanics by Hua-Jun Chen, Hong-Wei Wu, Jian-Yong Yang, Xue-Chao Li, Ya-Juan Sun, Yuan Peng

“…Abstract We theoretically investigate the nonlinear optical phenomena including optical bistability and four-wave mixing (FWM) process in a composite photonic-molecule cavity optomechanical system. The photonic-molecule cavity consisted of two whispering gallery mode (WGM) microcavities, where one WGM cavity is an optomechanical cavity with high-cavity dissipation κ and the other WGM cavity is an auxiliary ordinary optical cavity with high-quality factor (Q). …”

Out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum optomechanical systems by M Brunelli, A Xuereb, A Ferraro, G De Chiara, N Kiesel, M Paternostro

“…We address the out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics of an isolated quantum system consisting of a cavity optomechanical device. We explore the dynamical response of the system when driven out of equilibrium by a sudden quench of the coupling parameter and compute analytically the full distribution of the work generated by the process. …”

The Development of Optomechanical Sensors—Integrating Diffractive Optical Structures for Enhanced Sensitivity by Faolan Radford McGovern, Aleksandra Hernik, Catherine Grogan, George Amarandei, Izabela Naydenova

“…Many configurations have been developed, including cantilever- and MEMS-type devices, fiber Bragg grating sensors, and cavity optomechanical sensing devices. These state-of-the-art sensors operate on the principle of a mechanical transducer coupled with a diffractive element resulting in a variation in the intensity or wavelength of the diffracted light in the presence of the target analyte. …”
