By confining light to sub-wavelength volumes, nanophotonic devices enhance light matter interactions and enable a wide range of fundamental and applied studies. Nanophotonic optomechanics experiments probe optical coupling between nanomechanical resonators and photons. Using nanophotonic devices such as microdisk and photonic crystal nanocavities, it is possible to routinely measure thermal...

For modeling optical trapping of an anisotropic nano-particle we first used the point matching
method to compute the T-matrix coefficients based on the boundary condition for the normal
componants of D-fields. In the anisotropic media, where the divergence of E-field is nonzero,
the Maxwell wave equations was sloved in the Fourier space. Thus, the plan waves with
angular spectrum amplitude...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
In the field of optomechanics we have learned to use the forces exerted by laser light to gain a new level of control over a wide variety of mechanical systems. These systems range in size from kilogram-scale mirrors in gravitational wave detectors to nanomechanical elements in cryogenic environments.
In this talk I will discuss how a very modest source of laser light (i.e. a few...

We consider the controlled transfer of light between the two sides of an optical cavity containing a moveable membrane in the middle. The transfer process is analogous to STIRAP in atomic/laser physics. The system also presents some fundamental issues in cavity-QED and optomechanics because of the time-dependent boundary conditions. In particular, we compare and contrast Maxwell dynamics...
