Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 688–691 (1998)Optomechanical Cooling of a Macroscopic Oscillator by Homodyne FeedbackReceived 29 January 1997; published in the issue dated 26 January 1998 We propose a simple optomechanical model in which a mechanical oscillator quadrature could be “cooled” well below its equilibrium temperature by applying a suitable feedback to drive the orthogonal quadrature by means of the homodyne current of the radiation field used to probe its position. © 1998 The American Physical Society URL:
