High quality mechanical and optical properties of commercial silicon nitride membranes
B. M. Zwickl, W. E. Shanks, A. M. Jayich +4
We have measured the optical and mechanical loss of commercial silicon nitride membranes. We find that 50 nm-thick, 1 mm^2 membranes have mechanical Q > 10^6 at 293 K, and Q > 10^7…

Strong dispersive coupling of a high finesse cavity to a micromechanical membrane
J. D. Thompson, B. M. Zwickl, A. M. Jayich +3
Macroscopic mechanical objects and electromagnetic degrees of freedom couple to each other via radiation pressure. Optomechanical systems with sufficiently strong coupling are pred…
