Nonlinear dynamics of micro-opto-mechanical cavities — •Florian Marquardt, S. M. Girvin, and Jack Harris — Department of Physics, Yale University, New Haven 06520, USA

We present a detailed theoretical analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of a Fabry-Perot cavity mirror moving under the influence of radiation pressure. We will discuss the existence of multiple stable dynamical attractors, the influence of noise, the possibility of tailoring the effective potential via multi-color laser input, and the effects of the dynamics on the output light.
