Feedback Enhanced Sensitivity in Optomechanics: Surpassing the Parametric Instability Barrier
Glen I. Harris, Ulrik L. Andersen, Joachim Knittel +1
The intracavity power, and hence sensitivity, of optomechanical sensors is commonly limited by parametric instability. Here we characterize the parametric instability induced sensi…
Near threshold all-optical backaction amplifier
Terry G. McRae, Warwick P. Bowen
A near threshold all-optical backaction amplifier is realized. Operating near threshold in an integrated micronscale architecture allows a nearly three orders of magnitude improvem…
Cavity optoelectromechanical regenerative amplification
Michael A. Taylor, Alex Szorkovszky, Joachim Knittel +3
Cavity optoelectromechanical regenerative amplification is demonstrated. An optical cavity enhances mechanical transduction, allowing sensitive measurement even for heavy oscillato…
Detection limits in plasmonic whispering gallery mode biosensors
Jon D. Swaim, Joachim Knittel, Warwick P. Bowen
We analyze a whispering gallery mode biosensor with a metallic nanorod bound to its surface. It is found that a localized surface plasmon resonance in the nanorod can reduce the op…
