A phase-controlled ultralow-threshold phonon laser is proposed by using tunable optical amplifiers in coupled-cavity-optomechanical system. Giant enhancement of coherent photon-phonon interactions is achieved by engineering the strengths and phases of external parametric driving. This in turn enables single-photon optomechanics and low-power phonon lasing, opening up novel prospects for applications, e.g. quantum phononics and ultrasensitive motion detection.
