Cavity Optomechanical Bistability with an Ultrahigh Reflectivity Photonic Crystal Membrane
{{output}}
Photonic crystal (PhC) membranes patterned with sub-wavelength periods offer a unique combination of high reflectivity, low mass, and high mechanical quality factor. Using a PhC membrane as one mirror of a Fabry-Perot cavity, a finesse as high as F = 35 000 (... ...
