Area of Science:

  • Cavity optomechanics
  • Laser physics
  • Nanophotonics

Background:

  • Traditional cavity optomechanics relies on detuning between passive resonators and external lasers.
  • Optomechanical coupling describes the interaction between optical fields and mechanical motion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new optomechanical scheme with mutual coupling between a laser's mechanical oscillator and its own optical field.
  • To demonstrate optomechanically-induced regenerative oscillation in an optically active cavity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an electrically-pumped vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) with an ultra-light-weight high-contrast-grating (HCG) mirror.
  • Designed the HCG mirror's reflectivity spectrum for strong optomechanical coupling.
  • Investigated the self-oscillation amplitude of the micromechanical oscillator and laser wavelength sweep.

Main Results:

  • Observed a self-oscillation amplitude of >550 nm for the micromechanical oscillator, significantly larger than typical values.
  • Achieved a 23 nm laser wavelength sweep.
  • Demonstrated optomechanically-induced regenerative oscillation.

Conclusions:

  • The optically active cavity design greatly enhances light-matter energy transfer.
  • This scheme offers a new approach for high-speed wavelength-swept sources and integrated on-chip sensors.
