We explore the viability of using optical refrigeration as a low-vibration cooling method for a phase-sensitive optomechanical amplifier proposed to improve the sensitivity of future gravitational wave detectors. We find that with moderate improvements on coolants currently available, optical refrigeration can improve the amplifier gain by a factor of 10 relative to what is possible with radiative cooling. We also show that the technique does not add significant noise to the amplifier. These results indicate that optical refrigeration can play an important role in cooling optomechanical devices. |
