Abstract

Because of radiation pressure, an optical cavity with harmonically bound mirrors has an intensity-dependent length and behaves as an effective Kerr medium. We determine the quantum fluctuations of the field reflected by such a cavity, taking into account the input field fluctuations and the mirror Brownian motion. In the regions of parameter space close to bistability turning points, we obtain a significant quantum-noise reduction effect.
