“…According to such signal flow, silicon photonic devices can be also classified by laser, modulator, switch, filter, (de)multiplexer, detector, and so on. The applications of silicon photonics include nonlinear optics [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], photonic signaling [6,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36], nanooptomechanics [37][38][39][40], photonic processing [41], sensors [42][43][44][45][46], mid-infrared optics [47][48][49][50][51], terahertz technology [52,53], and so on.…”

“…While retarded radiation pressure 4 is the most common mechanism used in OM cavities to generate coherent vibrations at GHz frequencies 1,[5][6][7] . Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in either waveguides or cavities has also been gaining increasing attention [8][9][10][11] . However, these two approaches impose stringent requirements on the quality of the OM structures and can thus be inconvenient to implement for room temperature operation.…”

Optical modulation of coherent phonon emission in optomechanical cavities

Optomechanical structures are well suited to study photon-phonon interactions, and they also turn out to be potential building blocks for phononic circuits and quantum computing. In phononic circuits, in which information is carried and processed by phonons, optomechanical structures could be used as interfaces to photons and electrons thanks to their excellent coupling efficiency. Among the components required for phononic circuits, such structures could be used to create coherent phonon sources and detectors. Complex functions other than emission or detection remain challenging and addressing a single structure in a full network proves a formidable challenge. Here, we propose and demonstrate a way to modulate the coherent emission from optomechanical crystals by external optical pumping, effectively creating a phonon switch working at ambient conditions of pressure and temperature and the working speed of which (5 MHz) is only limited by the mechanical motion of the optomechanical structure. We additionally demonstrate two other switching schemes: harmonic switching in which the mechanical mode remains active but different harmonics of the optical force are used, and switching to-and from the chaotic regime. Furthermore, the method presented here allows to select any single structure without affecting its surroundings, which is an important step towards freely controllable networks of optomechanical phonon emitters.
