It is shown that the laser gravitational wave detector scheme proposed in [Barinov L. A., Khalili F. Ya. // Phys. Rev. D. 2025, https://doi.org/10.1103/7mn7-qm31], which combines the advantages of a quantum speedmeter and tunable optical rigidity, can be adapted for tabletop-scale optomechanical sensors of weak forces. A numerical analysis is performed, and analytical expressions are obtained for the spectral density of quantum noise under parameters typical for modern optomechanical systems with sub-gram-scale mirrors.
