Room-temperature silicon platform for GHz-frequency nano-electro-opto-mechanical systems
D. Navarro-Urrios, M. F. Colombano, G. Arregui +7
Nano-electro-opto-mechanical systems enable the synergistic coexistence of electrical, mechanical, and optical signals on a chip to realize new functions. Most of the technology pl…
Injection locking in an optomechanical coherent phonon source
Guillermo Arregui, Martin Facundo Colombano, Jérémie Maire +6
Spontaneous locking of the phase of a coherent phonon source to an external reference is demonstrated in an optomechanical oscillator based on a self-triggered free-carrier/tempera…
Stress-strain in electron-beam activated polymeric micro-actuators
Davide Giambastiani, Fabio Dispinzeri, Francesco Colangelo +5
Actuation of thin polymeric films via electron irradiation is a promising avenue to realize devices based on strain engineered two dimensional (2D) materials. Complex strain profil…
High frequency mechanical excitation of a silicon nanostring with piezoelectric aluminum nitride layers
A. Pitanti, T. Makkonen, M. F. Colombano +8
A strong trend for quantum based technologies and applications follows the avenue of combining different platforms to exploit their complementary technological and functional advan…
Efficient microwave frequency conversion mediated by the vibrational motion of a silicon nitride nanobeam oscillator
J. M. Fink, M. Kalaee, R. Norte +2
Microelectromechanical systems and integrated photonics provide the basis for many reliable and compact circuit elements in modern communication systems. Electro-opto-mechanical de…
Ferromagnetic resonance assisted optomechanical magnetometer
M. F. Colombano, G. Arregui, F. Bonell +7
The resonant enhancement of mechanical and optical interaction in optomechanical cavities enables their use as extremely sensitive displacement and force detectors. In this work we…
