Optomechanical Detection of Light with Orbital Angular Momentum
Hamidreza Kaviani, Roohollah Ghobadi, Bishnupada Behera +5
We present an optomechanical device designed to allow optical transduction of orbital angular momentum of light. An optically induced twist imparted on the device by light is detec…
Design and experimental demonstration of optomechanical paddle nanocavities
Chris Healey, Hamidreza Kaviani, Marcelo Wu +4
We present the design, fabrication and initial characterization of a paddle nanocavity consisting of a suspended sub-picogram nanomechanical resonator optomechanically coupled to a…
Single crystal diamond nanobeam waveguide optomechanics
Behzad Khanaliloo, Harishankar Jayakumar, Aaron C. Hryciw +3
Optomechanical devices sensitively transduce and actuate motion of nanomechanical structures using light. Single--crystal diamond promises to improve the performance of optomechani…
Near-field tuning of optomechanical coupling in a split-beam nanocavity
Aaron C. Hryciw, Marcelo Wu, Behzad Khanaliloo +1
Tunable evanescent coupling is used to modify the optomechanical interactions within a split-beam photonic crystal nanocavity. An optical fiber taper probe is used to renormalize t…
Dissipative and Dispersive Optomechanics in a Nanocavity Torque Sensor
Marcelo Wu, Aaron C. Hryciw, Chris Healey +5
Dissipative and dispersive optomechanical couplings are experimentally observed in a photonic crystal split-beam nanocavity optimized for detecting nanoscale sources of torque. Dis…
Cavity optomechanics in gallium phosphide microdisks
Matthew Mitchell, Aaron C. Hryciw, Paul E. Barclay
We demonstrate gallium phosphide (GaP) microdisk optical cavities with intrinsic quality factors and mode volumes , and study their nonlinear and…
Optical design of split-beam photonic crystal nanocavities
Aaron C. Hryciw, Paul E. Barclay
We design high quality factor photonic crystal nanobeam cavities formed by two mechanically isolated cantilevers. These "split-beam" cavities have a physical gap at the center, all…
Solving dielectric and plasmonic waveguide dispersion relations with a pocket calculator
Rohan D. Kekatpure, Aaron C. Hryciw, Edward S. Barnard +1
We present a robust iterative technique for solving complex transcendental dispersion equations routinely encountered in integrated optics. Our method especially befits the multila…
