Towards Radiation Pressure Measurement Using the Microresonator Test Mass

POSTER

Abstract

We observe the radiation pressure effects of light on the micromechanical resonator. Such measurements serve as initial steps towards testing macroscopic quantum mechanics and hence developing Quantum Non Demolition techniques for future Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory.
