Towards x-ray optomechanics — •Luling Jin1, Yong Li2, and Jörg Evers1 — 1Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69117 Heidelberg — 2Beijing Computational Science Research Centre, Beijing 100084, China, China
We propose a hybrid optomechanical system connecting light in the visible frequency range with hard x-rays. Our setup combines a standard cavity optomechanical setup [1] operating in the visible frequency range with an additional driving of the vibrating cavity mirror by x-ray light [2]. We find that the visible light can be used to detect properties of the x-ray light and its influence on the cavity mirror motion, and discuss the potential of hard x-rays provided by modern light sources for optomechanics.
