In recent years the zoology of tamed quantum systems has witnessed the arrival of a new member. In the field of optomechanical cavities it has been proven that it is possible to lead micro and nano mechanical resonators to their vibrational quantum ground state. This feat is made possible by the ability of optomechanical resonators to optically cool down the brownian motion of the mechanical degrees of freedom.We study the cooling mechanisms in optomechanical cavities subject to unconventional coupling schemes. In particular we discuss how photothermal cooling leads the mechanical resonator to its ground state in regimes of parameters for which the more usual radiation-pressure based cooling is unable to quench effectively enough the therma...
