Single-photon Spectra in Quantum Optomechanics

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider how a single photon can probe the quantum nature of a moving mirror in the context of quantum optomechanics. In particular, we demonstrate how the single-photon spectrum reveals resonances that depend on how many phonons are created as well as on the strength of the mirror-photon interaction. A dressed-state picture is used to explain positions and relative strengths of those resonances. The time-dependent spectrum shows how the resonances are built up over time by the photon interacting with the moving mirror.
