Brownian noise in radiation-pressure-driven micromechanical oscillators
Abstract
The authors demonstrate Brownian-noise-limited operation of an optomechanical oscillator, wherein mechanical oscillations of a silica optical microcavity are sustained by means of radiation pressure. Using phase noise measurement above threshold, it has been shown that the short-term linewidth of mechanical oscillations is fundamentally broadened, limited by thermal equipartition of energy.
