  We characterize the local properties of an optomechanical system comprising
the movable mirror of a resonator and its intracavity field, mutually coupled
via radiation-pressure. Our approach shows that both the state of the mirror
and the field can be interpreted as squeezed thermal states whose dynamical
properties can be tuned by properly choosing the working parameters. This
allows us to design conditional procedures for the amplification of the
correlation properties of the optomechanical state. Our study is a step forward
in the understanding of the physics that rules a system of current enormous
experimental interest.
