Parametric amplifier mediated nonreciprocal phonon laser in non-Markovian optomechanical resonators
Abstract
Phonon lasers amplify mechanical vibrations, serving as key tools for coherent acoustics research and applications such as ultrasensitive sensing and information processing, which has been extensively studied in Markovian systems but remains unexplored in non-Markovian ones. In this paper, we propose the nonreciprocal phonon laser in a coupled cavity system composed of nonlinear optomechanical resonator and degenerate optical parametric amplifier (DOPA) under the Markovian approximation. The mechanical gain and threshold power of the phonon laser are influenced by Sagnac-Fizeau effects, which leads to the unidirectional phonon laser and enhances the phonon laser performance via DOPA. Moreover, we generalize the nonreciprocal phonon laser to non-Markovian regimes. We find that non-Markovian effects can lead to the further enhancement of the phonon laser at a lower phonon laser threshold power with DOPA fixed. Our work reveals connections between low-power mechanical isolation and non-Markovian effects, offering a pathway to manipulate cavity optomechanical devices across a broader range of applications.
