To date, micro- and nano-scale optomechanical systems have enabled many proof-of-principle quantum operations through access to high-frequency (GHz) phonon modes that are readily cooled to their thermal ground state. However, minuscule amounts of absorbed light produce excessive heating that can jeo...
