ABSTRACT
Order is one of the most important concepts to interpret various phenomena such as the emergence of turbulence and the life-evolution process. The generation of laser can also be treated as an ordering process in which the interaction between the laser beam and the gain medium leads to the correlation between photons in the output optical field. Here, we demonstrate experimentally in a hybrid Raman-laser-optomechanical system that an ordered Raman laser can be generated from an entropy-absorption process by a chaotic optomechanical resonator. When the optomechanical resonator is chaotic or disordered enough, the Raman-laser field is in an ordered lasing mode. This can be interpreted by the entropy transfer from the Raman-laser mode to the chaotic motion mediated by optomechanics. Different order parameters, such as the box-counting dimension, the maximal Lyapunov exponent, and the Kolmogorov entropy, are introduced to quantitatively analyze this entropy transfer process, by which we can observe the order transfer between the Raman-laser mode and the optomechanical resonator. Our study presents a new mechanism of laser generation and opens up new dimensions of research such as the modulation of laser by optomechanics.
