An all-optical feedback assisted steady state of an optomechanical array

Abstract

We explore the effect of all-optical feedback on the steady state dynamics of\noptomechanical arrays arising from various topologies. First we consider an\narray comprised of a pair of independent optomechanical cavities coupled\nreversibly via their optical modes. Next we consider an optomechanical network\nformed from coupling two optical modes with interactions mediated via a common\nmechanical mode. Finally we extend the analysis to a large network of N-coupled\noptomechanical systems. Our results show implementing an-all optical feedback\nloop in each arrangement can enhance the degree of steady state entanglement\nbetween inter cavity optical and mechanical modes.\n
