[EN] Recent years have witnessed the boom of cavity optomechanics, which exploits the confinement and coupling of optical and mechanical waves at the nanoscale. Among their physical implementations, optomechanical (OM) ...
[EN] We report a novel injection scheme that allows for phonon lasing in a one-dimensional optomechanical photonic crystal, in a sideband unresolved regime and with cooperativity values as low as 10-2. It extracts energy ...
[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 report on the modification of the optical and mechanical properties of a silicon 1D optomechanical crystal cavity due to thermo-optic effects in a high phonon/photon population regime. The cavity heats up due to ...
