Quantum Reservoir Engineering Through Quadratic Optomechanical Interaction In The Reversed Dissipation Regime

We explore an electromagnetic field coupled to a mechanical resonator via quadratic optomechanical interaction in the reversed dissipation regime where the mechanical damping rate is much higher than the cavity-field dissipation rate. It is shown that in this regime, the cavity field effectively acquires an additional reservoir which is conditioned by the temperature of the mechanical bath as well as the mechanical damping rate. We analytically find the steady-state mean photon number and the critical temperature of the mechanical oscillator to cool or heat the coupled electromagnetic field. We also show that in the case of quadratic coupling, the temperature of the mechanical oscillator can be estimated in the quantum regime by observing the noise spectrum of the cavity field.
