The name "resolved sideband regime" refers to the possibility to distinguish the motional sidebands from the cavity resonance, which is the case if the linewidth of the cavity, κ is smaller than the distance from the cavity resonance to the sideband, which is ωm .

The good/bad cavity regime (also called the resolved/unresolved sideband regime) relates the mechanical frequency to the optical linewidth: The good cavity regime (resolved sideband limit) is of exper

The physical origin of the transparency window can be understood by realizing that the beat of the probe field and the coupling laser induces a time-varying radiation-pressure force. If the beat frequ

Mechanical oscillators which respond to radiation pressure are a promising means of transferring
quantum information between light and matter

Mechanical vibrations induce sidebands in the spectrum of the optical cavity

The optomechanical interaction originates from the mechanical effect of light, i.e. optical force,
which includes two major categories: radiation pressure
force (or scattering force) and optical gradient force (or dipole force).
