Abstract  We present a double-cavity optomechanical system with a mechanical oscillator, which is jointly driven by an amplitude-modulated laser field and a weak squeezed vacuum field, aiming to explore quantum entanglement effects under the unresolved-sideband regime. Within our proposed scheme, it is possible not only to surpass the limit of maximum steady-state entanglement ln2 for bipartite entanglement, achieving strong entanglement, but also to significantly enhance tripartite entanglement and improve the system's robustness against thermal noise. Meanwhile, the introduction of the squeezed vacuum field plays a crucial role in entanglement control, enabling not only a several-fold enhancement of entanglement but also continuous and precise manipulation of its strength within specific ranges. The suggested method demonstrates exceptional flexibility and adaptability under a wide range of operating conditions, offering a new pathway for theoretical and experimental investigations of strong bipartite entanglement and tripartite entanglement.
