We review the emerging field of optomechanics, where the radiation pressure of light circulating inside an optical cavity is employed to cool, manipulate and read out micro- and nanomechanical oscillators. These systems display a rich classical nonlinear dynamics and can be used for sensitive detection. Once they are successfully cooled into the quantum ground state, they promise fundamental tests of quantum mechanics in a new regime.

    Finite direct phonon-phonon coupling in a two-mirror parametrically assisted optomechanical cavity mixes a weakly participating collective mode into the optically visible spectrum, rendering a third resonance resolvable.
