Integrated optomechanical microelements

Integrated optomechanical circuits

Optomechanical circuits are a promising candidate to realize various signal processing functions on a chip. In this paper we review several different NOMS structures fabricated in a silicon-on-insulator platform. © 2010 Optical society of America OCIS-codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (250.4745) Optomechanics

Phonon routing in integrated optomechanical cavity-waveguide systems

The mechanical properties of light have found widespread use in the manipulation of gas-phase atoms and ions, helping create new states of matter and realize complex quantum interactions. The field of cavity-optomechanics strives to scale this interaction to much larger, even human-sized mechanical objects. Going beyond the canonical Fabry-Perot cavity with a movable mirror, here we explore a n...

Microelements - Macro Consequences..

Microelements are essential for full-fledged functioning of an adult and sound growth and development of a child. Iron, iodine, folic acid, calcium etc. along with vitamins A, B1, B2, B12 and C are the most essential nutrients for our organism. Deficiency in these nutrients in a human organism is called "hidden hunger". For example, a person consumes sufficient quantities of food, but due to it...

Biofortification of Food with Microelements

Problem statement: Recently a particular attention was paid to the issue of microelement hunger, also termed hidden hunger. The problem was of global significance, since was related with the public health and concerns over 2 billion people. Approach: The study discusses the state of the art in the research on food biofortification as the sustainable solution to cope with micronutrient deficienc...
