Engineering phonon leakage in nanomechanical resonators
Rishi N. Patel, Christopher J. Sarabalis, Wentao Jiang +2
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a technique for coupling phonons out of an optomechanical crystal cavity. By designing a perturbation that breaks a symmetry in the elasti…
Design of nanobeam photonic crystal resonators for a silicon-on-lithium-niobate platform
Jeremy D. Witmer, Jeff T. Hill, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini
We outline the design for a photonic crystal resonator made in a hybrid Silicon/Lithium Niobate material system. Using the index contrast between silicon and lithium niobate, it is…
Guided acoustic and optical waves in silicon-on-insulator for Brillouin scattering and optomechanics
Christopher J. Sarabalis, Jeff T. Hill, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini
We numerically study silicon waveguides on silica showing that it is possible to simultaneously guide optical and acoustic waves in the technologically important silicon on insulat…
Laser noise in cavity-optomechanical cooling and thermometry
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Jasper Chan, Jeff T. Hill +5
We review and study the roles of quantum and classical fluctuations in recent cavity-optomechanical experiments which have now reached the quantum regime (mechanical phonon occupan…
