Design of Mechanically Compliant Membrane Reflectors for Giant Optical Phase Nonlinearity
Lior Michaeli, Harry A. Atwater
Optical nonlinearities arise when the response of a photonic system depends on light intensity. Radiation pressure can create such a nonlinearity by moving a mechanically compliant…

Ultrafast, reconfigurable all-optical beam steering and spatial light modulation
Claudio U. Hail, Lior Michaeli, Harry A. Atwater
Achieving spatiotemporal control of light at subwavelength and subcycle scales is an important milestone in the development of new photonic materials and technologies. Ultrafast sp…

Optically Actuated Transitions in Multimodal, Bistable Micromechanical Oscillators
Lior Michaeli, Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg +3
We experimentally demonstrate a new class of optomechanical nonlinearities in weakly damped micromechanical resonators, arising from the interplay between the Duffing nonlinearity,…
