We demonstrate an ultra-low-threshold phonon laser using a coupled-microtoroid-cavity system by introducing a novel coupling approach.The scheme exhibits both high optical quality factors and high mechanical quality factors.We have experimentally obtained the mechanical quality factor up to 18,000 in vacuum for a radialbreathing mode of 59.2 MHz.The measured phonon lasing threshold is as low as 1.2μW,which is～5 times lower than the previous result.

We demonstrate an ultra-low-threshold phonon laser using a coupled-microtoroid-cavity system by introducing a novel coupling approach. The scheme exhibits both high optical quality factors and high mechanical quality factors. We have experimentally obtained the mechanical quality factor up to 18,000 in vacuum for a radial-breathing mode of 59.2 MHz. The measured phonon lasing threshold is as low as 1.2 mu W, which is similar to 5 times lower than the previous result. (C) 2017 Chinese Laser Press
