报告摘要

In an optomechanical resonator, a mechanical mode can couple coherently to one or more optical modes via radiation pressure. In this talk, I will discuss recent experimental studies on coherent optomechanical coupling, including storing light as a mechanical excitation and converting coherent optical fields between vastly different optical wavelengths. The concept of a mechanically dark optical mode, a special superposition of optical modes decoupled from relevant mechanical excitations, will be introduced. The use of the optomechanical dark mode in optical state transfer will also be presented.

Hailin Wang received B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the University of Science and Technology of China and the University of Michigan in 1982 and 1990, respectively. From 1991 to 1995, he worked at the University of Michigan and later at the AT&T Bell Laboratories. He joined the University of Oregon in 1995, where he is now a professor of physics. He served as director of the Oregon Center for Optics from 2006-2010. His current research interest includes optomechanics, cavity QED of spins in diamond, and coherent optical control of electron spins in semiconductors. Dr. Wang is a fellow of the American Physical Society and the Optical Society of America.
