Integrated III-V Photonic Crystal – Si waveguide platform with tailored optomechanical coupling
Optomechanical systems, in which the vibrations of a mechanical resonator are coupled to an electromagnetic radiation, have permitted the investigation of a wealth of novel physical effects. To fully exploit these phenomena in realistic circuits and to achieve different functionalities on a single chip, the integration of optomechanical resonators is mandatory. Here, we propose a novel approach...
متن کاملPhonon 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...
متن کامل“Smart” Nanophotonic Elements and All-Optical Feedback Control Through Optical Forces and Potentials
We describe recently proposed light-powered nanomachines and all-optical self-adaptive optomechanical circuits that rely on the interplay of resonantly-enhanced optical forces and the manipulation of optical resonances by mechanical degrees of freedom in nanophotonic structures [1]. This new class of devices facilitates resonantly tailored optomechanical potentials, enabling positional control ...
متن کاملDesign of tunable GHz-frequency optomechanical crystal resonators.
We present a silicon optomechanical nanobeam design with a dynamically tunable acoustic mode at 10.2 GHz. The resonance frequency can be shifted by 90 kHz/V2 with an on-chip capacitor that was optimized to exert forces up to 1 µN at 10 V operation voltage. Optical resonance frequencies around 190 THz with Q-factors up to 2.2 × 106 place the structure in the well-resolved s...
متن کاملLasing from active optomechanical resonators
Planar microcavities with distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) host, besides confined optical modes, also mechanical resonances due to stop bands in the phonon dispersion relation of the DBRs. These resonances have frequencies in the 10- to 100-GHz range, depending on the resonator's optical wavelength, with quality factors exceeding 1,000. The interaction of photons and phonons in such optomech...
