“…This exponential decay law for differencesideband generation enables an attractive device for the measurement of electrical charges with higher precision and lower power than the conventional linearized optomechanical interaction. The effect of electrical-charge dependent differencesideband generation is especially suited for on-chip optomechanical devices, where nonlinear optomechanical interaction in the weak coupling regime is within current experimental reach.To relate to previous works, we emphasize that the present work can be seen as an extension of two previous papers [24,25].

Difference-sideband generation in an optomechanical system coupled to a charged object is investigated beyond the conventional linearized description of optomechanical interactions. An exponential decay law for difference-sideband generation in the presence of electric interaction is identified which exhibits more sensitivity to electrical charges than the conventional linearized effects. Using exact the same parameters with previous work based on the linearized dynamics of the optomechanical interactions, we show that optomechanically induced difference-sideband generation may enable an all-optical sensor for precision measurement of electrical charges with higher precision and lower power. The proposed mechanism is especially suited for on-chip optomechanical devices, where nonlinear optomechanical interaction in the weak coupling regime is within current experimental reach.PACS numbers: 03.65. Ta, 42.50.Wk Micromechanical resonators, in combination with a high Q optical cavity via resonantly enhanced feedback-backaction arising from radiation pressure, can be used to manipulate light propagation exotically [1,2] and provides a special platform for performing precision measurement [3][4][5] and force sensors [6,7] due to their important properties of small masses and high integrability. The force sensors based on the optomechanical interaction is usually carried out via the correlations between the measured quantities and output spectra, and precision measurement of electrical charges [8] in an optomechanical system has been suggested based on the effect of optomechanically induced transparency, where sharp transmission features controlled by the control laser beam exhibit Coulomb-interaction dependent effect that can be well understood through the linearization of the optomechanical interactions [9][10][11]. Compared with traditional methods, optomechanical sensors allows for remote sensing via optical fibers and relies free on naturally occurring resonances [3,4].Recently, due to the prominent applications in precision measurement and optical combs, nonlinear optomechanical interactions have emerged as a new frontier in cavity optomechanics [12], and have enabled many interesting topics, such as second-order sideband generation [13][14][15][16], sideband comb [17,18], optomechanical chaos [19], and carrier-envelope phase-dependent effects [20]. It has been shown that nonlinear signals in the optomechanical system could be a sensitive tool for performing precision measurement of the average phonon number and may provide measurement with higher precision [21,22].Nonlinear features of optomechanical systems with multiple probe field driven have been discussed recently [23], and spectral signals at difference sideband has been demonstrated analytically which provides an effective way for light manipulation and precision measurement in a solid-state architecture [24]. In the present work, difference-sideband generation in an optomechanical system coupled to a charged object is analytically investigated and pre...

“…These features of selective OMIT amplifications and switchable group delays of light provide more flexible ways in practical applications ranging from optical storage or modulations to multi-band optical communications. In future works, it will be also of interests to study the role of selective mechanical driving in enhancing or steering, for examples, light-sound entanglement [93,94], photon-phonon mutual blockade [95], precision measurement [45,46], and switchable amplification of light or sound.…”

We study optomechanically-induced transparency (OMIT) in a compound system consisting of an optical cavity and an acoustic molecule, which features not only double OMIT peaks but also light advance. We find that by selectively driving one of the acoustic modes, OMIT peaks can be amplified either symmetrically or asymmetrically, accompanied by either significantly enhanced advance or a transition from advance to delay of the signal light. The sensitive impacts of the mechanical driving fields on the optical properties, including the signal transmission and its higherorder sidebands, are also revealed. Our results confirm that selective acoustic control of OMIT devices provides a versatile route to achieve multi-band optical modulations, weak-signal sensing, and coherent communications of light.

“…Recently, due to the nonlinear optomechanical interactions between the optical cavities and the mechanical resonators, a lot of interesting phenomena 19 – 22 emerge, such as high-order sidebands 23 , 24 and chaos 25 , 26 which are achieved in the bichromatic driving regime by making use of numerical calculation method. In the perturbative regime that the probe field is weaker than the control field, an analytical method has also been proposed to describe the nonlinear interactions in an optomechanical system 27 – 29 .…”

Second-order sideband generation in an optomechanical system with the coupling between a mechanical resonator and a two-level system is discussed beyond the conventional linearized description of optomechanical interactions. The features of two-color second-order sideband generation are demonstrated in this hybrid system. We discovery that the switch between one- and two-color second-order sideband generation is easily realized by shifting the detuning between the control field and the cavity field or the transition frequency of the two-level system. The efficiency of two-color second-order sideband generation increases monotonously with the control field strength. The coupling strength between the mechanical resonator and the two-level system plays a decisive role in the appearance of the two-color second-order sidebands. The two-color second-order sideband generation may provide measurement with higher precision in new degrees of freedom.
