Abstract

In this work, we report optomechanical coupling, resolved sidebands and phonon lasing in a solid-core microbottle resonator fabricated on a single mode optical fiber. Mechanical modes with quality factors (Q_m) as high as 1.57 × 10⁴ and 1.45 × 10⁴ were observed, respectively, at the mechanical frequencies (Formula presented.) and (Formula presented.). The maximum (Formula presented.) Hz is close to the theoretical lower bound of 6 × 10¹² Hz needed to overcome thermal decoherence for resolved-sideband cooling of mechanical motion at room temperature, suggesting microbottle resonators as a possible platform for this endeavor. In addition to optomechanical effects, scatter-induced mode splitting and ringing phenomena, which are typical for high-quality optical resonances, were also observed in a microbottle resonator. (Figure presented.) .
