Nanoscale Torsional Optomechanics
arXiv:1210.1852 · doi:10.1063/1.4789442
Abstract
Optomechanical transduction is demonstrated for nanoscale torsional resonators evanescently coupled to optical microdisk whispering gallery mode resonators. The on-chip, integrated devices are measured using a fully fiber-based system, including a tapered and dimpled optical fiber probe. With a thermomechanically calibrated optomechanical noise floor down to 7 fm/sqrt(Hz), these devices open the door for a wide range of physical measurements involving extremely small torques, as little as 4x10^-20 N*m.
