abstract = {The field of cavity optomechanics has experienced a rapid growth in last decade. The increasing interest in this area was mostly driven by the intricate interface between mechanical motion and the optical field. Such coupling is widely explored in a variety of experiments scaling from kilometer long interferometers to micrometer optical cavities. The challenge on all these experiments is to create an optomechanical device with long-living optical and mechanical resonances while keeping a large coupling rate. In this context photonic crystal cavities have emerged as a strong candidate since they are able to produce very small optical mode volume and long optical lifetime. In the classical regime, these tiny devices, which can mechanically oscillate from frequencies ranging from couple MHz up to tens of GHz, allows for highly sensitive small forces, masses, displacements and acceleration detectors. They are also used to produce high quality optically driven mechanical oscillators which can be synchronized via an optical field. In the quantum regime, cavity quantum optomechanics is being used to understand decoherence phenomena in a mesoscopic scale by creating nonclassical states between light and mechanical modes intermediated by optomechanical interaction. However up to now, few studies have been done concerning the possibility of large scale production of these devices, a necessary step towards massive technological and scientific application of these devices.
In this work, we describe a detailed study of optomechanical cavities based upon photonic crystal cavities fabricated in a CMOS-compatible commercial foundry. We prove the feasibil- ity of this platform exploring three photonic crystal designs. First, we show how to achieve ultra-high optical quality factors using a design resilient to the fabrication constrains. Our demonstrated quality factors are the largest ever reported using photonic crystal cavities man- ufactured by optical lithography. Secondly, we investigate a slot type optical cavity, able to produce very large optomechanical coupling using a simple in-plane motion. Finally, we design a trimmable acoustic shield to restrict the mechanical motion inside the optical region. Such strategy was successfully used to produce high mechanical quality factor and optomechanical coupling which enabled the observation of cooling and amplification of mechanical modes at low temperature.},

abstract = {Optical mode-splitting is an efficient tool to shape and fine-tune the spectral response of resonant nanophotonic devices. The active control of mode-splitting, however, is either small or accompanied by undesired resonance-shifts, often much larger than the resonance splitting. We report a control mechanism that enables reconfigurable and widely tunable mode splitting while efficiently mitigating undesired resonance shifts. This is achieved by actively controlling the excitation of counter-traveling modes in coupled resonators. The transition from a large splitting (80 GHz) to a single-notch resonance is demonstrated using low-power microheaters (35 mW). We show that the spurious resonance shift in our device is only limited by thermal crosstalk, and resonance-shift-free splitting control may be achieved.},

We demonstrate four-channel all-optical wavelength multicasting using only 1 mW of control power, with converted channel spacing of 40-60 GHz. Our device is based on a compact embedded microring design fabricated on a scalable SOI platform. The coexistence of close resonance spacing and high finesse (205) in a compact footprint is possible due to enhanced quality factors (30,000) resulting from the embedded configuration and the coupling-strength dependence of resonance spacing, instead of ring size.

abstract = {We analyze amorphous Al2O3 (α-Al 2O3) for use as a thick thermally conductive shield in metallo-dielectric semiconductor nanolasers, and show that the use of (alpha ) -Al2O3 allows a laser to efficiently dissipate heat through its shield. This new mechanism for thermal management leads to a significantly lower operating temperature within the laser, compared with lasers with less thermally conductive shields, such as SiO2. We implement the shield in a continuous wave electrically pumped cavity, and analyze its experimental performance by jointly investigating its optical, electrical, thermal, and material gain properties. Our analysis shows that the primary obstacle to room temperature lasing was the device's high threshold gain. At the high pump levels required to achieve the gain threshold, particularly at room temperature, the gain spectrum broadened and shifted, leading to detrimental mode competition. Further simulations predict that an increase in the pedestal undercut depth should enable room temperature lasing in a device with the same footprint and gain volume. Through the integrated treatment of various physical effects, this analysis shows the promise of (α-Al2O3 for nanolaser thermal management, and enables better understanding of nanolaser behavior, as well as more informed design of reliable nanolasers. copyright 2014 IEEE.},

abstract = {Optomechanical resonators suffer from the dissipation of mechanical energy through the necessary anchors enabling the suspension of the structure. Here, we show that such structural loss in an optomechanical oscillator can be almost completely eliminated through the destructive interference of elastic waves using dual-disk structures. We also present both analytical and numerical models that predict the observed interference of elastic waves. Our experimental data reveal unstressed silicon nitride (Si3N4) devices with mechanical Q-factors up to 104 at mechanical frequencies of f=102 MHz (fQ=1012) at room temperature. copyright 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.},

The quaternary material is lattice matched to InP forming a double hetero-structure. Indium flux, number of InAs stacked layers and InGaAsP inner separation layer thickness were investigated. Photoluminescence (PL) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis indicate the occurrence of gallium diffusion and the arsenic/phosphorus (As/P) exchange with the InGaAsP barriers. As a result, shorter wavelength emission is observed, making the structures suitable for telecom applications.},
