Abstract

High-sensitivity interferometric detection of mechanical displacements has received much attention over the past decades, due to its vast field of applicability, e.g. in gravitational wave detection, cantilever-based single spin detection, and the quest to reveal quantum effects in mesoscopic mechanical systems. Following the proposal of Caves we have experimentally proven the applicability of squeezed light-enhanced interferometric displacement detection in the domain of micromechanical oscillators. The technique has previously been demonstrated for table-top interferometer setups and GW-interferometers, but to the best of our knowledge never in microcavity optomechanics.
