Nanobenders: efficient piezoelectric actuators for widely tunable nanophotonics at CMOS-level voltages
Wentao Jiang, Felix M. Mayor, Rishi N. Patel +3
Tuning and reconfiguring nanophotonic components is needed to realize systems incorporating many components. The electrostatic force can deform a structure and tune its optical res…
Efficient bidirectional piezo-optomechanical transduction between microwave and optical frequency
Wentao Jiang, Christopher J. Sarabalis, Yanni D. Dahmani +5
Efficient interconversion of both classical and quantum information between microwave and optical frequency is an important engineering challenge. The optomechanical approach with…
Piezoelectric transduction of a wavelength-scale mechanical waveguide
Yanni D. Dahmani, Christopher J. Sarabalis, Wentao Jiang +2
We present a piezoelectric transducer in thin-film lithium niobate that converts a 1.7 GHz microwave signal to a mechanical wave in a single mode of a 1 micron-wide waveguide. We m…
Lithium Niobate Piezo-optomechanical Crystals
Wentao Jiang, Rishi N. Patel, Felix M. Mayor +6
Demonstrating a device that efficiently connects light, motion, and microwaves is an outstanding challenge in classical and quantum photonics. We make significant progress in this…
Resolving the energy levels of a nanomechanical oscillator
Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, E. Alex Wollack, Zhaoyou Wang +5
The coherent states that describe the classical motion of a mechanical oscillator do not have well-defined energy, but are rather quantum superpositions of equally-spaced energy ei…
