In this paper, we consider a three-mode optomechanical system, where two movable mirrors are coupled to a single cavity mode with different optomechanical coupling strengths. Instead of the phonon–phonon entanglement which has often been studied, here we focus on the photon–phonon entanglement. Using the logarithmic negativity, we found that stationary entanglement strongly depends on the temperature, dissipation rates, and optomechanical couplings. Furthermore, the system at hand exhibits an entanglement transfer that can be controlled using only one of the two optomechanical couplings. However, manipulating optomechanical couplings is limited by the stability conditions.
