摘　　要：Optical microcavities have attracted strong research interests,for their unique property of confining photons for a long time in small volumes,which significantly enhances light–matter interaction[1].In recent decades,various fabrication techniques of microcavities with higher quality factors(Q)and smaller mode volumes(V_m)have been developed,pushing forward studies from fundamental physics to functional photonics devices.Microcavity optomechanics provides an ideal platform for exploring the quantum nature of macroscopic objects[2]。Optical microcavities have attracted strong research inter- ests, for their unique property of confining photons for a long time in small volumes, which significantly enhances light-matter interaction [1]. In recent decades, various fabrication techniques of microcavities with higher quality factors （Q） and smaller mode volumes （Vm） have been developed, pushing forward studies from fundamental physics to functional photonics devices. Microcavity optomechanics provides an ideal platform for exploring the quantum nature of macroscopic objects [2], quantum information processing and precision measurement [3].
