Quasi-two-dimensional optomechanical crystals with a complete phononic bandgap
Thiago P. Mayer Alegre, Amir Safavi-Naeini, Martin Winger +1
A fully planar two-dimensional optomechanical crystal formed in a silicon microchip is used to create a structure devoid of phonons in the GHz frequency range. A nanoscale photonic…
Proposal for an Optomechanical Traveling Wave Phonon-Photon Translator
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Oskar Painter
In this article we describe a general optomechanical system for converting photons to phonons in an efficient, and reversible manner. We analyze classically and quantum mechanicall…
Electrostatically tunable optomechanical "zipper" cavity laser
Raviv Perahia, Justin Cohen, Sean Meenehan +2
A tunable nanoscale "zipper" laser cavity, formed from two doubly clamped photonic crystal nanobeams, is demonstrated. Pulsed, room temperature, optically pumped lasing action at a…
Optomechanics in an ultrahigh-Q slotted 2D photonic crystal cavity
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Thiago P. Mayer Alegre, Martin Winger +1
Optical guided wave dielectric structures with nanoscale slots are known to provide strong electric field enhancements in the slotted region, enabling strong light-matter interacti…
Design of Optomechanical Cavities and Waveguides on a Simultaneous Bandgap Phononic-Photonic Crystal Slab
Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Oskar Painter
In this paper we study and design quasi-2D optomechanical crystals, waveguides, and resonant cavities formed from patterned slabs. Two-dimensional periodicity allows for in-plane p…
