Heat transfer in an optomechanical system consisting of one optical cavity and two movable mirrors with or without a laser field is studied by using the quantum master-equation method. The radiation-pressure interaction between the cavity and the mirrors contains the single-photon optomechanical coupling (SPOC) and the dynamical Casimir effect (DCE). When the laser is not applied to the cavity, the heat transfer is induced by a nonlocal interaction between mirrors that builds up only due to the presence of the DCE. Once the monochromatic field is turned on, both the SPOC and the DCE can be used to modify the energy transfer process. In both cases, the heat transfer can be drastically enhanced at resonant conditions manifested by the DCE. Our results can motivate further studies to actively control heat transfer mediated by the DCE in optomechanical devices.

光机械系统中由动力学卡西米尔效应介导的传热

使用量子主方程方法研究了由一个光学腔和两个可移动反射镜组成的光机械系统中的热传递，有或没有激光场。腔体和反射镜之间的辐射压力相互作用包含单光子光机耦合 (SPOC) 和动态卡西米尔效应 (DCE)。当激光未施加到腔体时，热传递是由反射镜之间的非局部相互作用引起的，这种相互作用仅由于 DCE 的存在而建立。一旦打开单色场，SPOC 和 DCE 都可以用来修改能量转移过程。在这两种情况下，在 DCE 表现出的共振条件下，传热都可以大大增强。
