Optomechanical creation of magnetic fields for photons on a lattice
M. Schmidt, S. Keßler, V. Peano +2
We propose using the optomechanical interaction to create artificial magnetic fields for photons on a lattice. The ingredients required are an optomechanical crystal, i.e. a piece…
Optomechanical Dirac Physics
M. Schmidt, V. Peano, F. Marquardt
Recent progress in optomechanical systems may soon allow the realization of optomechanical arrays, i.e. periodic arrangements of interacting optical and vibrational modes. We show…
Topological Phases of Sound and Light
V. Peano, C. Brendel, M. Schmidt +1
Topological states of matter are particularly robust, since they exploit global features insensitive to local perturbations. In this work, we describe how to create a Chern insulat…
Optomechanical Metamaterials: Dirac polaritons, Gauge fields, and Instabilities
Michael Schmidt, Vittorio Peano, Florian Marquardt
Freestanding photonic crystals can be used to trap both light and mechanical vibrations. These "optomechanical crystal" structures have already been experimentally demonstrated to…
