Actuation of Micro-Optomechanical Systems Via Cavity-Enhanced Optical Dipole Forces

Matt Eichenfield, Christopher P. Michael, Raviv Perahia +1

We demonstrate a new type of optomechanical system employing a movable, micron-scale waveguide evanescently-coupled to a high-Q optical microresonator. Micron-scale displacements o…
