Optomechanical Entanglement in the Presence of Laser Phase Noise    [PDF]

R. Ghobadi, A. R. Bahrampour, C. Simon

We study the simplest optomechanical system in the presence of laser phase noise using the covariance matrix formalism. We show that the destructive effect of the phase noise is especially strong in the bistable regime. This explains why ground state cooling is still possible in the presence of phase noise, as it happens far away from the bistable regime. On the other hand, the optomechanical entanglement is strongly affected by phase noise.
