论文摘要
我们探讨了将光学制冷用作低振动冷却方法的生存能力,用于提议提高未来引力波检测器的灵敏度的相敏光力学放大器。我们发现,随着当前可用的冷却剂的适度改善,光学制冷可以将放大器增益提高10倍,相对于辐射冷却的可能性。我们还表明,该技术不会为放大器添加明显的噪声。这些结果表明,光学制冷可以在冷却光学设备中发挥重要作用。
We explore the viability of using optical refrigeration as a low-vibration cooling method for a phase-sensitive optomechanical amplifier proposed to improve the sensitivity of future gravitational wave detectors. We find that with moderate improvements on coolants currently available, optical refrigeration can improve the amplifier gain by a factor of 10 relative to what is possible with radiative cooling. We also show that the technique does not add significant noise to the amplifier. These results indicate that optical refrigeration can play an important role in cooling optomechanical devices.
