Sensitive transduction of the motion of a microscale cantilever is central to many applications in mass, force, magnetic resonance, and displacement sensing. Reducing cantilever size to nanoscale dimensions can improve the bandwidth and sensitivity of techniques like atomic force microscopy, but current optical transduction methods suffer when the cantilever is small compared to the achievable spot size. Here, we demonstrate sensitive optical transduction in a monolithic cavity-optomechanical system in which a sub-picogram silicon cantilever with a sharp probe tip is separated from a microdisk optical resonator by a nanoscale gap. High quality factor (Q ~ 10^5) microdisk optical modes transduce the cantilevers MHz frequency thermally-driven vibrations with a displacement sensitivity of ~ 4.4x10^-16 msqrt[2]{Hz} and bandwidth > 1 GHz, and a dynamic range > 10^6 is estimated for a 1 s measurement. Optically-induced stiffening due to the strong optomechanical interaction is observed, and engineering of probe dynamics through cantilever design and electrostatic actuation is illustrated.

An erbium doped micro-laser is demonstrated utilizing $mathrm{SiO_{2}}$ microdisk resonators on a silicon chip. Passive microdisk resonators exhibit whispering gallery type (WGM) modes with intrinsic optical quality factors of up to $6times{10^{7}}$
and were doped with trivalent erbium ions (peak concentration $mathrm{sim3.8times{10^{20}cm^{-3})}}$ using MeV ion implantation. Coupling to the fundamental WGM of the microdisk resonator was achieved by using a tapered optical fiber. Upon pumping of the $^{4}% I_{15/2}longrightarrow$ $^{4}I_{13/2}$ erbium transition at 1450 nm, a gradual transition from spontaneous to stimulated emission was observed in the 1550 nm band. Analysis of the pump-output power relation yielded a pump threshold of 43 $mathrm{mu}$W and allowed measuring the spontaneous emission coupling factor: $betaapprox1times10^{-3}$.
Matter-wave interferometry and spectroscopy of optomechanical resonators offer complementary advantages. Interferometry with cold atoms is employed for accurate and long-term stable measurements, yet it is challenged by its dynamic range and cyclic a
cquisition. Spectroscopy of optomechanical resonators features continuous signals with large dynamic range, however it is generally subject to drifts. In this work, we combine the advantages of both devices. Measuring the motion of a mirror and matter waves interferometrically with respect to a joint reference allows us to operate an atomic gravimeter in a seismically noisy environment otherwise inhibiting readout of its phase. Our method is applicable to a variety of quantum sensors and shows large potential for improvements of both elements by quantum engineering.
The integration of optomechanics and optoelectronics in a single device opens new possibilities for developing information technologies and exploring fundamental phenomena. Gallium arsenide (GaAs) is a well-known material that can bridge the gap betw
een the functionalities of optomechanical devices and optical gain media. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a high-frequency GaAs optomechanical resonator with a ring-type bullseye geometry that is unprecedented in this platform. We measured mechanical modes up to 3.4 GHz with quality factors of 4000 (at 77 K) and optomechanical coupling rates up to 39 kHz at telecom wavelengths. Moreover, we investigated the material symmetry break due to elastic anisotropy and its impact on the mechanical mode spectrum. Finally, we assessed the temperature dependence of the mechanical losses and demonstrated the efficiency and anisotropy resilience of the bullseye anchor loss suppression, indicating that lower temperature operation may allow mechanical quality factors over $10^4$. Such characteristics are valuable for active optomechanics, coherent microwave-to-optics conversion via piezo-mechanics and other implementations of high-frequency oscillators in III-V materials.
We demonstrate that a geometric phase, generated via a sequence of four optomechanical interactions, can be used to increase, or generate nonlinearities in the unitary evolution of a mechanical resonator. Interactions of this form lead to new mechani
sms for preparing mechanical squeezed states, and preparation of non-classical states with significant Wigner negativity.
Silicon on insulator photonics has offered a versatile platform for the recent development of integrated optomechanical circuits. However, there are some constraints such as the high cost of the wafers and limitation to a single physical device level
. In the present work we investigate nanocrystalline silicon as an alternative material for optomechanical devices. In particular, we demonstrate that optomechanical crystal cavities fabricated of nanocrystalline silicon have optical and mechanical properties enabling non-linear dynamical behaviour and effects such as thermo-optic/free-carrier-dispersion self-pulsing, phonon lasing and chaos, all at low input laser power and with typical frequencies as high as 0.3 GHz.
