[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 theoretically investigate phonon-photon interaction in cavities created in a phoxonic crystal slab constituted by a two-dimensional (2D) square array of holes in a silicon membrane. The structure without defects ...

We present the design of two waveguides (ladder and slot-ladder waveguides) implemented in a silicon honeycomb photonic-phononic crystal slab, which can support slow electromagnetic and elastic guided modes simultaneously. ...
[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 experimental evidence of light guiding at telecommunication wavelengths along line-defect honeycomb-lattice photonic crystal waveguides created in suspended silicon slabs. Numerical results show that the ...
[EN] Spontaneous locking of the phase of a coherent phonon source to an external reference is demonstrated in a deeply sideband-unresolved optomechanical system. The high-amplitude mechanical oscillations are driven by the ...
[EN] Optical nonlinearities, such as thermo-optic mechanisms and free-carrier dispersion, are often considered unwelcome effects in silicon-based resonators and, more specifically, optomechanical cavities, since they affect, ...

[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 ...
[EN] One of the key trends in laser material processing is the usage of structured laser beams. Collimated and focused Gaussian beams are the most common tools; however, more exotic beams can be beneficial too. For instance, ...
[EN] The interaction between phonons and photons is investigated theoretically in a phoxonic cavity inside a
