Quantum state of a suspended mirror coupled to cavity light -- Wiener filter analysis of the pendulum and rotational modes

Abstract

We investigated the quantum state of an optomechanical suspended mirror under continuous measurement and feedback control using Wiener filtering. We focus on the impact of the two-mode theory of suspended mirror on the quantum state, which is described by the pendulum and rotational modes. It is derived from the beam model coupled to the cavity light in the low-frequency regime, including the internal friction of the beam and the finite size effect of the mirror. We constructed a Wiener filter for the two-mode theory and predicted the quantum state by evaluating the conditional covariance matrix using Wiener filter analysis. The results demonstrate that multimode analysis may play an important role in generating the quantum squeezed state. We also point out the possibility that one-mode analysis can be a good approximation by choosing the range of the Fourier space in the Wiener filter analysis.
