We demonstrate wheel-shaped silicon optomechanical resonators for resonant operation in ambient air. The high finesse of optical whispering gallery modes (loaded optical Q factor above 500,000) allows for efficient transduction of the wheel resonators mechanical radial contour modes of frequency up to 1.35 GHz with high mechanical Q factor around 4,000 in air.

We report on miniature GaAs disk optomechanical resonators vibrating in air in the radiofrequency range. The flexural modes of the disks are studied by scanning electron microscopy and optical interferometry, and correctly modeled with the elasticity
theory for annular plates. The mechanical damping is systematically measured, and confronted with original analytical models for air damping. Formulas are derived that correctly reproduce both the mechanical modes and the damping behavior, and can serve as design tools for optomechanical applications in fluidic environment.
We report on optomechanical GaAs disk resonators with ultrahigh quality factor - frequency product Qf. Disks standing on a simple pedestal exhibit GHz breathing modes attaining a Qf of 10^13 measured under vacuum at cryogenic temperature. Clamping lo
sses are found to be the dominant source of dissipation in this configuration. A new type of disk resonator integrating a shield within the pedestal is then proposed and its working principles and performances investigated by numerical simulations. For dimensions compatible with fabrication constraints, the clamping-loss-limited Q reaches 10^7-10^9 corresponding to Qf of 10^16-10^18. This shielded pedestal approach applies to any heterostructure presenting an acoustic mismatch.
Achieving cavity-optomechanical strong coupling with high-frequency phonons provides a rich avenue for quantum technology development including quantum state-transfer, memory, and transduction, as well as enabling several fundamental studies of macro
scopic phononic degrees-of-freedom. Reaching such coupling with GHz mechanical modes however has proved challenging, with a prominent hindrance being material- and surface-induced-optical absorption in many materials. Here, we circumvent these challenges and report the observation of optomechanical strong coupling to a high frequency (11 GHz) mechanical mode of a fused-silica whispering-gallery microresonator via the electrostrictive Brillouin interaction. Using an optical heterodyne detection scheme, the anti-Stokes light backscattered from the resonator is measured and normal-mode splitting and an avoided crossing are observed in the recorded spectra, providing unambiguous signatures of strong coupling. The optomechanical coupling rate reaches values as high as $G/2pi = 39 text{MHz}$ through the use of an auxiliary pump resonance, where the coupling dominates both the optical ($kappa/2pi = 3 text{MHz}$) and the mechanical ($gamma_text{m}/2pi = 21 text{MHz}$) amplitude decay rates. Our findings provide a promising new approach for optical quantum control using light and sound.
We have observed the transversal vibration mode of suspended carbon nanotubes at millikelvin temperatures by measuring the single-electron tunneling current. The suspended nanotubes are actuated contact-free by the radio frequency electric field of a
nearby antenna; the mechanical resonance is detected in the time-averaged current through the nanotube. Sharp, gate-tuneable resonances due to the bending mode of the nanotube are observed, combining resonance frequencies of up to u_0 = 350 MHz with quality factors above Q = 10^5, much higher than previously reported results on suspended carbon nanotube resonators. The measured magnitude and temperature dependence of the Q-factor shows a remarkable agreement with the intrinsic damping predicted for a suspended carbon nanotube. By adjusting the RF power on the antenna, we find that the nanotube resonator can easily be driven into the non-linear regime.
Advancement of diamond based photonic circuitry requires robust fabrication protocols of key components, including diamond resonators and cavities. Here, we present 1D (nanobeam) photonic crystal cavities generated from single crystal diamond membran
es utilising a metallic tungsten layer as a restraining, conductive and removable hard mask. The use of tungsten instead of a more conventional silicon oxide layer enables good repeatability and reliability of the fabrication procedures. The process yields high quality diamond cavities with quality factors (Q factors) approaching 10$^$4. Finally, we show that the cavities can be picked up and transferred onto a trenched substrate to realise fully suspended diamond cavities. Our fabrication process demonstrates the capability of diamond membranes as modular components for broader diamond based quantum photonic circuitry.
