Novel cooling mechanisms in optomechanical systems

ORAL

Abstract

We present here our theoretical work on unconventional cooling mechanisms in optomechanical systems. In particular our classical and quantum theory of photothermal cooling [1] and our more recent work on cooling of a mechanical oscillator in cavity QED systems [2].\\[4pt] [1]J. Restrepo, J.
