We demonstrate an optomechanical platform based on a levitated small high reflective (HR)-coated mirror above a superconductor disk. We use this levitated mirror at ambient condition to detect the magnetic field with a sensitivity of 370 pT / Hz. Moreover, the levitated mirror is used as the end mirror of a Fabry–Perot cavity to create an optical resonance that could be used to study coherent radiation pressure forces. The platform provides a sensitive tool to measure the various forces exerted on the mirror and it offers the possibility of the coherent optical trapping of macroscopic objects.
