Background:

Nano-optomechanical sensors offer precise measurements but require complex optical setups.
Integrating light coupling into nano-optomechanical systems remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a fiber-coupled nano-optomechanical sensor that bypasses the need for external coupling optics.
To demonstrate a scalable method for integrating nano-optomechanical structures with optical fibers.

Main Methods:

A double membrane photonic crystal (DM-PhC) was directly fabricated onto an optical fiber facet using a wafer-to-fiber transfer method.
The device was probed in reflection at telecom wavelengths, utilizing its resonance for readout.
Mechanical oscillations were induced and monitored via the fiber using resonant driving and ringdown measurements.

Main Results:

Achieved displacement imprecision of and tracked mechanical resonant frequency and linewidth with imprecisions of 79 Hz and 12 Hz, respectively.
Demonstrated pressure measurement with an imprecision of by monitoring collisional damping effects on the mechanical linewidth.
The fiber-tip sensor operates with a broad spectral width (3-10 nm), simplifying readout.

Conclusions:

The developed fiber-tip nano-optomechanical sensor offers a simplified, scalable, and potentially low-cost approach to high-precision sensing.
This integration of optomechanics and fiber-tip sensing paves the way for advanced fiber sensors with enhanced functionality and reduced footprint.
