Ground-state cooling of mechanical motion by coupling to a driven optical cavity has been demonstrated in various optomechanical systems. In our work, we provide a so far missing thermodynamic performance analysis of optomechanical sideband cooling in terms of a heat valve. As performance quantifiers we examine not only the lowest reachable effective temperature (phonon number), but also the evacuated-heat flow as an equivalent to the cooling power of a standard refrigerator, as well as…
