Optomechanical Simulation of a Parametric Oscillator

Abstract

We study an optomechanical device supporting at least three optical modes in the infrared telecommunication band and three mechanical vibration modes. We model the coherent driving of each optical mode, independently of each other, to obtain an effective Hamiltonian showing the different types of parametric processes allowed in the device. We propose a bichromatic driving scheme, in the lossy optical cavity regime, under a mean field approximation, that provides the quantum simulation of a parametric oscillator with optical control of its parameters.
