Abstract
High-order sideband generation in an optomechanical system coupled to a charged object is discussed, and the features of Coulomb-interaction-dependent effect are identified. We show that the Coulomb-interaction-dependent effect of high-order sideband generation exhibits essential difference between the case of weak control field and strong control field. In the weak control field case, the output spectra are in the perturbative regime and there is hardly any Coulomb-interaction-dependent effect in an optomechanical system coupling to an object with a small amount of charge. In the strong control field case, the output spectra are in the nonperturbative regime and robust Coulomb-interaction-dependent effect arises even if there are few charges. The amplitudes of specific sidebands are also discussed, and it is shown that Coulomb interaction plays an important role in achieving optomechanical control. Due to the extremely sensitive charge number, the Coulomb-interaction-dependent effect of high-order sideband generation is remarkable in many aspects and may be used to precision measurement of electrical charges beyond the linearized optomechanical interaction.
