Optomechanical zipper cavity lasers: theoretical analysis of tuning range and stability
Thiago P. Mayer Alegre, Raviv Perahia, Oskar Painter
The design of highly wavelength tunable semiconductor laser structures is presented. The system is based on a one dimensional photonic crystal cavity consisting of two patterned, d…
Design of plasmonic photonic crystal resonant cavities for polarization sensitive infrared photodetectors
Jessie Rosenberg, Rajeev V. Shenoi, Sanjay Krishna +1
We design a polarization-sensitive resonator for use in midinfrared photodetectors, utilizing a photonic crystal cavity and a single or double-metal plasmonic waveguide to achieve…
Coherent mixing of mechanical excitations in nano-optomechanical structures
Qiang Lin, Jessie Rosenberg, Darrick Chang +4
The combination of large per-photon optical force and small motional mass attainable in nanocavity optomechanical systems results in strong dynamical back-action between mechanical…
Modeling Dispersive Coupling and Losses of Localized Optical and Mechanical Modes in Optomechanical Crystals
Matt Eichenfield, Jasper Chan, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini +2
Periodically structured materials can sustain both optical and mechanical excitations which are tailored by the geometry. Here we analyze the properties of dispersively coupled pla…
A multi-spectral and polarization-selective surface-plasmon resonant mid-infrared detector
Jessie Rosenberg, Rajeev V. Shenoi, Thomas E. Vandervelde +2
We demonstrate a multi-spectral polarization sensitive mid-infrared dots-in-a-well (DWELL) photodetector utilizing surface-plasmonic resonant elements, with tailorable frequency re…
Characterization of radiation pressure and thermal effects in a nanoscale optomechanical cavity
Ryan M. Camacho, Jasper Chan, Matt Eichenfield +1
Optical forces in guided-wave nanostructures have recently been proposed as an effective means of mechanically actuating and tuning optical components. In this work, we study the p…
