Low-noise Optomechanical Single Phonon-photon Conversion for Quantum Networks
Liu Chen, Alexander Rolf Korsch, Cauê Moreno Kersul +4
Nano-structured optomechanical crystals (OMC) form an interface between mechanical modes with long coherence times and telecom optical photons, ideal for long-distance distribution…

Controlling photothermal forces and backaction in nano-optomechanical resonators through strain engineering
Menno H. Jansen, Cauê M. Kersul, Ewold Verhagen
In micro- and nanoscale optomechanical systems, radiation pressure interactions are often complemented or impeded by photothermal forces arising from thermal strain induced by opti…

Optomechanical microgear cavity
Roberto O. Zurita, Cauê M. Kersul, Nick J. Schilder +2
We introduce a novel optomechanical microgear cavity for both optical and mechanical isotropic materials, featuring a single etch configuration. The design leverages a conjunction…
