A method to fabricate GaAs microcavities using only a soft mask with an electrolithographic pattern in an inductively coupled plasma etching is presented. A careful characterization of the fabrication process pinpointing the main routes for a smooth device sidewall is discussed. Using the final recipe, optomechanical microdisk resonators are fabricated. The results show very high …
Congratulations to PhD candidate André Primo! Got awarded for his outstanding talk on bolometric optical forces at the SBFoton conference 2019!
Please check our post-doc Opportunities. Application deadline coming up soon in late October and early November!
Brillouin optomechanics in nanophotonic structure APL Photonics 4, 071101 (2019); https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5088169 This tutorial guides and motivates scientists delving into the core of light-sound interaction. Through tangible examples, we lay out key concepts underneath accurate prediction of Brillouin gain in optomechanical structures. We have also published a data set at Zenodo repository with all the …
We are happy to announce our recent grant applications were approved by FAPESP! These grants should ensure solid funding for the next several years. Soon we will announce available positions!

It was great to host Prof. Michäel Menard for the past few months at Unicamp through his sabbatical leave! Can’t believe three months have already gone and its time for him to go back . The picture shows that we can’t only leave of science!
Check out media highlight from Mario’s Nature Communications paper!
David Bellec, an undergraduate student from L’Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs de Caen (ENSICAEN) in France, joined us for an internship. He will be working together with Marvyn, Lais, and Louise to improve our group velocity dispersion measurement setup.
