We presented a method to control the intensity of a phonon-laser mode (the vibrational excitations of a mechanical mode) by adjusting the polarization of the pump light based on the experimentally achievable parameters, which provides an additional degree of freedom to control the phonon laser action. Due to orthogonally polarized modes of cavity, the polarization behavior of light field which describes it's vector nature is introduced to control phonon laser action in our scheme. Compared with the traditional phonon laser scheme, polarization-related phonon laser in the coupled vector cavity optomechanics can be effectively controlled without changing other parameters of the device. This result provides an useful approach for acquiring polarization-related phonon laser by on-chip optical device.
我们提出了一种基于实验可实现参数通过调节泵浦光的偏振来控制声子激光模式(机械模式的振动激发)强度的方法,为控制声子激光作用提供了一个额外的自由度。由于腔的正交偏振模式,引入了描述其矢量性质的光场偏振行为来控制我们方案中的声子激光作用。与传统的声子激光方案相比,在耦合矢量腔光机械系统中与偏振相关的声子激光可以在不改变器件其他参数的情况下有效地控制。该结果为通过片上光学器件获得与偏振相关的声子激光提供了一种有用的方法。
