On-chip Inter-modal Brillouin Scattering
Eric A. Kittlaus, Nils T. Otterstrom, Peter T. Rakich
Stimulated Brillouin interactions mediate nonlinear coupling between photons and acoustic phonons through an optomechanical three-wave interaction. Though these nonlinearities were…
Quantum Theory of Continuum Optomechanics
Peter Rakich, Florian Marquardt
We present the basic ingredients of continuum optomechanics, i.e. the suitable extension of cavity-optomechanical concepts to the interaction of photons and phonons in an extended…
Guided-wave Brillouin scattering in air
William H. Renninger, Ryan O. Behunin, Peter T. Rakich
Here we identify a new form of optomechanical coupling in gas-filled hollow-core fibers. Stimulated forward Brillouin scattering is observed in air in the core of a photonic bandga…
Engineering dissipation with phononic spectral hole burning
R. O. Behunin, P. Kharel, W. H. Renninger +1
Optomechanics, nano-electromechanics, and integrated photonics have brought about a renaissance in phononic device physics and technology. Central to this advance are devices and m…
Dimensional transformation of defect-induced noise, dissipation, and nonlinearity
R. O. Behunin, F. Intravaia, P. T. Rakich
In recent years, material-induced noise arising from defects has emerged as an impediment to quantum-limited measurement in systems ranging from microwave qubits to gravity wave in…
