Time-dependent optical force theory for optomechanics of dispersive 3D photonic materials and devices
arXiv:2112.11128 · doi:10.1364/OE.458252
Abstract
We present a position- and time-dependent optical force theory for optomechanics of dispersive 3D photonic materials and devices. The theory applies to media including material interfaces, waveguides, and general photonic crystal structures. The theory enables calculation of the dynamical state of the coupled field-material system and the interference of this state with other excitations of the material, such as surface acoustic waves or phonons. As an example, we present computer simulations of energy and momentum flows through a silicon crystal with anti-reflective structured interfaces. Using commercially available simulation tools, the theory can be applied to analyze optical forces in complex photonic materials and devices.
