Optomechanical parameter estimation

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We propose a statistical framework for the problem of parameter estimation from a noisy optomechanical system. The Cram'er-Rao lower bound on the estimation errors in the long-time limit is derived and compared with the errors of radiometer and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms in the estimation of the force noise power. When applied to experimental data, the EM estimator is found to have the lowest error and follow the Cram'er-Rao bound most closely. Our analytic results are envisioned to be valuable to optomechanical experiment design, while the EM algorithm, with its ability to estimate most of the system parameters, is envisioned to be useful for optomechanical sensing, atomic magnetometry, and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics.
