(color online) Schematic depiction of a three-mode optomechanical system where two cavities have identical cavity lengths L and mode frequencies ω₀. The oscillating membrane is inserted between two fixed mirrors. Two cavities are driven by two pump beams with the same frequency ω_c but different amplitude ε_L and ε_R.
