Optomechanics in a Michelson-Sagnac Interferometer — •Lisa Kleybolte1, Andreas Sawadsky1, and Roman Schnabel2 — 1Institut für Gravitationsphysik, Leibniz Universität Hannover — 2Institut für Laserphysik, Universität Hamburg
The signal-recycled Michelson-Sagnac interferometer with a SiN-membrane as a mechanical oscillator is a manifold topology for the investigation of the optomechanical coupling. Beside the successful demonstration of dissipative coupling, this interferometer topology could reach a broadband radiation pressure noise (RPN) limited displacement sensitivity. Therefor thermal noise and shot noise have to be significantly reduced. Here we present spectra of a Michelson-Sagnac Interferometer operating in a cryogenic environment at 8K. Furthermore we show how the input of squeezed light into the dark port could influence the optomechanical coupling in our system and how it will be used to improve our sensitivity to reach the RPN.
