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…
Photonic bands, superchirality, and inverse design of a chiral minimal metasurface
Simone Zanotto, Giacomo Mazzamuto, Francesco Riboli +4
Photonic band structures are a typical fingerprint of periodic optical structures, and are usually observed in spectroscopic quantities such as transmission, reflection and absorpt…
Optomechanical response with nanometer resolution in the self-mixing signal of a terahertz quantum cascade laser
Andrea Ottomaniello, James Keeley, Pierluigi Rubino +7
The effectiveness of self-mixing interferometry has been demonstrated across the electromagnetic spectrum, from visible to microwave frequencies, in a plethora of sensing applicati…
Synchronization of optomechanical cavities by mechanical interaction
M. F. Colombano, G. Arregui, N. E. Capuj +7
The synchronization of coupled oscillators is a phenomenon found throughout nature. Mechanical oscillators are paradigmatic among such systems, but realising them at the nanoscale…
Optomechanics of chiral dielectric metasurfaces
Simone Zanotto, Alessandro Tredicucci, Daniel Navarro-Urrios +5
Electromagnetic fields coupled with mechanical degrees of freedom have recently shown exceptional and innovative applications, ultimately leading to mesoscopic optomechanical devic…
