Recent state-of-the-art technologies in fabricating low-loss
optical and mechanical components have significantly motivated the
study of quantum-limited measurements with optomechanical devices.
Such research is the main subject of this thesis. In the first
part, the author considers various approaches for surpassing the
standard quantum limit for force measurements. In the second part,
the author proposes different experimental protocols for using
optomechanical interactions to explore quantum behaviors of
macroscopic mechanical objects. Even though this thesis mostly
focuses on large-scale laser interferometer gravitational-wave
detectors and related experiments, the general approaches apply
equally well for studying small-scale optomechanical devices.
The author is the winner of the 2010 Thesis prize awarded by the
Gravitational Wave International Committee.
