[EN] We discuss the simultaneous existence of phoxonic, i.e., phononic and photonic, band gaps in a periodic array of holes drilled in a Si membrane. We investigate in detail both the square and the honeycomb lattices. We ...
[EN] We report on the optomechanical properties of a breathing mechanical mode oscillating at 5.5 GHz in a 1D corrugated Si nanobeam. This mode has an experimental single-particle optomechanical coupling rate of vertical ...

[EN] We discuss the simultaneous existence of phononic and photonic band gaps in a periodic array of holes drilled in a Si membrane. We investigate in detail both the centered square lattice and the boron nitride (BN) ...
