Photon Torpedoes and Rytov Pinwheels: Integral-Equation Modeling of Non-Equilibrium Fluctuation-Induced Forces and Torques on Nanoparticles

M. T. Homer Reid, O. D. Miller, A. G. Polimeridis +3

We present new theoretical tools, based on fluctuational electrodynamics and the integral-equation approach to computational electromagnetism, for numerical modeling of forces and…

Design of diamond microcavities for single photon frequency down-conversion

Zin Lin, Steven G. Johnson, Alejandro W. Rodriguez +1

We propose monolithic diamond cavities that can be used to convert color-center Fock-state single photons from emission wavelengths to telecommunication bands. We present a detaile…

Classical and fluctuation-induced electromagnetic interactions in micronscale systems: designer bonding, antibonding, and Casimir forces

Alejandro W. Rodriguez, Pui-Chuen Hui, David N. Woolf +3

Whether intentionally introduced to exert control over particles and macroscopic objects, such as for trapping or cooling, or whether arising from the quantum and thermal fluctuati…

Optomechanical and Photothermal Interactions in Suspended Photonic Crystal Membranes

David N. Woolf, Pui-Chuen Hui, Eiji Iwase +7

We present here an optomechanical system fabricated with novel stress management techniques that allow us to suspend an ultrathin defect-free silicon photonic-crystal membrane abov…

Casimir forces on a silicon micromechanical chip

J. Zou, Z. Marcet, A. W. Rodriguez +7

Quantum fluctuations give rise to van der Waals and Casimir forces that dominate the interaction between electrically neutral objects at sub-micron separations. Under the trend of…
