Slow thermo-optomechanical pulsations in suspended 1D photonic crystal nanocavities
Piergiacomo Z. G. Fonseca, Irene Alda, Francesco Marino +4
We investigate the nonlinear optical response of suspended 1D photonic crystal nanocavities fabricated on a silicon nitride chip. Strong thermo-optical nonlinearities are demonstra…
Extending vacuum trapping to absorbing objects with hybrid Paul-optical traps
Gerard Planes Conangla, Raúl A. Rica Alarcón, Romain Quidant
The levitation of condensed matter in vacuum allows the study of its physical properties under extreme isolation from the environment. It also offers a venue to investigate quantum…
Strong Optomechanical Coupling at Room Temperature by Coherent Scattering
Andrés de los Ríos Sommer, Nadine Meyer, Romain Quidant
Quantum control of a system requires the manipulation of quantum states faster than any decoherence rate. For mesoscopic systems, this has so far only been reached by few cryogenic…
Simple experimental procedures to distinguish photothermal from hot-carrier processes in plasmonics
Guillaume Baffou, Ivan Bordacchini, Andrea Baldi +1
Light absorption and scattering of plasmonic metal nanoparticles can lead to non-equilibrium charge carriers, intense electromagnetic near-fields, and heat generation, with promisi…
