Solution and entanglement dynamics of a cavityless optomechanical system with Gaussian states

Abstract

We use the symplectic transformation of the known linear optical elements to investigate the dynamical evolution of a three-mode cavityless optomechanical system and give explicit formulas for the input and output covariance matrices of the three mode fields when the initial state is Gaussian. Unlike the conventional approaches, the present one does not necessitate solution of the equation of motion of such a system. We study the dynamical behavior of bipartite entanglement in this system when the mirror vibrational mode is initially in a single-mode squeezed vacuum state and each of the two reflected optical sideband modes is in the vacuum state. It is found that the entanglement configuration alternates between a fully separable state and a continuous-variable entangled state during evolution.
