Quasianalytical modal approach for computing Casimir interactions in periodic nanostructures

October 3, 2012
Author(s)
Francesco Intravaia, Paul S. Davids, Ricardo Decca, Vladimir Aksyuk, Daniel Lopez, Diego A. Dalvit
We present an almost fully analytical technique for computing Casimir interactions between 1D periodic lamellar gratings based on a modal approach. Our method improves on previous work on Casimir modal approaches for nanostructures by using the exact form

Probing coherence in microcavity frequency combs via optical pulse shaping

August 29, 2012

Fahmida Ferdous, Houxun H. Miao, Pei-Hsun Wang, Daniel E. Leaird, Kartik Srinivasan, Lei Chen, Vladimir Aksyuk, Andrew M. Weiner
Recent investigations of microcavity frequency combs based on cascaded four-wave mixing have revealed a link between the evolution of the optical spectrum and the observed temporal coherence. Here we study a silicon nitride microresonator for which the

A Microelectromechanically Controlled Cavity Optomechanical Sensing System

July 17, 2012
Author(s)
Houxun H. Miao, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Vladimir A. Aksyuk
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have been applied to many measurement problems in physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. In parallel, cavity optomechanical systems have achieved quantum-limited displacement sensitivity and ground state cooling of

An Efficient Large-Area Grating Coupler for Surface Plasmon Polaritons

June 1, 2012
Author(s)
Stefan T. Koev, Amit K. Agrawal, Henri J. Lezec, Vladimir A. Aksyuk
We report the design, fabrication and characterization of a periodic grating of shallow rectangular grooves in a metallic film with the goal of maximizing the coupling efficiency of an extended plane wave (PW) of visible or near-IR frequency light into a

Giant piezoelectricity on Si for hyperactive MEMS

November 18, 2011

S. H. Baek, J. Park, D. M. Kim, Vladimir Aksyuk, R. R. Das, S. D. Bu, D. A. Felker, J. Lettieri, V Vaithyanathan, S. Bharadwaja, N. Bassiri-Gharb, Y. B. Chen, H. P. Sun, C. M. Folkman, H. W. Jang, D. J. Kreft, S K. Streiffer, R. Ramesh, X Q. Pan, S Trolier-McKinstry, Darrell G. Schlom, M. S. Rzchowski, R. Blick, C. B. Eom
Smart materials that can sense, manipulate, and position are crucial to the functionality of micro- and nano-machines [1-2]. Integration of single crystal piezoelectric films on silicon offers the opportunity of high performance piezoelectric

Enhanced coupling between light and surface plasmons by nanostructured Fabry-Perot resonator

September 26, 2011
Author(s)
Brian S. Dennis, Vladimir Aksyuk, Michael Haftel, Stefan T. Koev, Girsh Blumberg
It is recognized that surface plasmons (SPs),which can be present on particulate, smooth, or corrugated metallic surfaces, have enormous potential in the fields of novel nano-optical and opto-electronic devices, as well as in spectroscopic, biological, and

CAVITY OPTOMECHANICAL SENSORS

June 5, 2011
Author(s)
Houxun H. Miao, Kartik A. Srinivasan, Matthew T. Rakher, Marcelo I. Davanco, Vladimir A. Aksyuk
We report a novel type of fully integrated optomechanical sensor and demonstrate high sensitivity mechanical displacement measurements on chip. We sense the motion of micro and nano-mechanical devices by near field coupling them to high quality factor
