Nonlinear cavity optomechanics with nanomechanical thermal fluctuations

Optomechanical experiments often assume linear coupling between optical fluctuations and mechanical displacements. Here, Leijssenet al. experimentally demonstrate the nonlinear interaction from thermally induced fluctuations in a sliced nanobeam cavity with high cooperativity.
