Strong optomechanical interactions in a sliced photonic crystal nanobeam
Strong optomechanical interactions in a sliced photonic crystal nanobeam
Cavity optomechanical systems can be used for sensitive detection of mechanical motion and to control mechanical resonators, down to the quantum level. The strength with which optical and mechanical degrees of freedom interact is defined by the photon-phonon coupling rate $g_0$, which is especially large in nanoscale systems. Here, we …
