Abstract
We propose to use the resonant enhancement of the parametric instability in an optomechanical system of two optical modes coupled to a mechanical oscillator to prepare mechanical limit cycles with sub-Poissonian phonon statistics. Strong single-photon coupling is not required. The requirements regarding sideband resolution, circulating cavity power, and environmental temperature are in reach with state of the art parameters of optomechanical crystals. Phonon antibunching can be verfied in a Hanburry Brown-Twiss measurement on the output field of the optomechanical cavity.
