• Abstract summary: We employ a dual optical frequency comb spectrometer to readout a microfabricated cavity optomechanical accelerometer. With this approach, we have achieved a displacement sensitivity of 3 fm/Hz$1/2$, a measurement rate of 100 kHz, and a dynamic range of 3.9 $times$ 10$5$.

• Abstract: Cavity optomechanical sensors can offer exceptional sensitivity; however, interrogating the cavity motion with high accuracy and dynamic range has proven to be challenging. Here we employ a dual optical frequency comb spectrometer to readout a microfabricated cavity optomechanical accelerometer, allowing for rapid simultaneous measurements of the cavity's displacement, finesse, and coupling at accelerations up to 24 g (236 m/s$^2$). With this approach, we have achieved a displacement sensitivity of 3 fm/Hz$^{1/2}$, a measurement rate of 100 kHz, and a dynamic range of 3.9 $\times$ 10$^5$ which is the highest we are aware of for a microfabricated cavity optomechanical sensor. In addition, comparisons of our optomechanical sensor coupled directly to a commercial reference accelerometer show agreement at the 0.5% level, a value which is limited by the reference's reported uncertainty. Further, the methods described herein are not limited to accelerometry but rather can be readily applied to nearly any optomechanical sensor where the combination of high speed, dynamic range, and sensitivity is expected to be enabling.

  We present an optomechanical system for in-situ tuning of the coherent spin-motion and spin-spin interaction strength. We characterize the system using measurements of the induced mean-field spin precession.
