Pentagonal Photonic Crystal Mirrors: Scalable Lightsails with Enhanced Acceleration via Neural Topology Optimization
L. Norder, S. Yin, M. J. de Jong +5
The Starshot Breakthrough Initiative aims to send one-gram microchip probes to Alpha Centauri within 20 years, using gram-scale lightsails propelled by laser-based radiation pressu…
Feedback cooling of a room temperature mechanical oscillator close to its motional groundstate
Jingkun Guo, Richard A. Norte, Simon Gröblacher
Preparing mechanical systems in their lowest possible entropy state, the quantum ground state, starting from a room temperature environment is a key challenge in quantum optomechan…
Integrated optomechanical arrays of two high reflectivity SiN membranes
Claus Gärtner, João P. Moura, Wouter Haaxman +2
Multi-element cavity optomechanics constitutes a direction to observe novel effects with mechanical resonators. Several exciting ideas include superradiance, increased optomechanic…
Centimeter-scale suspended photonic crystal mirrors
Joao P. Moura, Richard A. Norte, Jingkun Guo +2
Demand for lightweight, highly reflective and mechanically compliant mirrors for optics experiments has seen a significant surge. In this aspect, photonic crystal (PhC) membranes a…
