An optical cavity coupled to a micrometre-sized mechanical resonator offers the opportunity to see quantum effects in relatively large structures. It is now shown that a variety of coupling mechanisms enable investigation of these fascinating systems in a number of different ways.

• Mechanical systems in the quantum regime (2011, background): “[267] the tilting results in an increase in the coupling from 30 kHz/nm2 to & 30 MHz/nm2, which might enable direct measurements of the quantization of the membrane’s energy (see the discussion in Section 3 and Appendix C) [268,269].”
