High-Power Laser Drives Motion in Ultra-thin Photonic Crystal Lightsails via Radiation Pressure
Lucas Norder, Ata Keşkekler, Richard A. Norte
Laser-driven lightsails have emerged as a promising route for accelerating ultralight spacecraft to high speeds using beamed optical energy. Realizing this concept pushes the limit…
High-Stress Si3N4 Reflective Membranes Monolithically Integrated with Cavity Bragg Mirrors
Megha Khokhar, Lucas Norder, Paolo M. Sberna +1
High-stress silicon nitride (Si3N4) membranes represent the state-of-the-art for cavity optomechanics, combining ultralow dissipation, optical transparency, and full compatibility…
Trapped Atoms in One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
C. -L. Hung, S. M. Meenehan, D. E. Chang +2
We describe one-dimensional photonic crystals that support a guided mode suitable for atom trapping within a unit cell, as well as a second probe mode with strong atom-photon inter…
