GaAs disk resonators (typical disk size 5 mum * 200 nm in our work) are good candidates for boosting optomechanical coupling thanks to their ability to confine both optical and mechanical energy in a sub-micron interaction volume. We present results of optomechanical characterization of GaAs disks by near-field optical coupling from a tapered silica nano-waveguide. Whispering gallery modes with optical Q factor up to a few 10^5 are observed. Critical coupling, optical resonance doublet splitting and mode identification are discussed. We eventually show an optomechanical phenomenon of optical force attraction of the silica taper to the disk. This phenomenon shows that mechanical and optical degrees of freedom naturally couple at the micro-nanoscale.

A nanoparticle detection scheme with single particle resolution is presented. The sensor contains only a taper fiber thus offering the advantages of compactness and installation flexibility. Sensing method is based on monitoring the transmitted light
power which shows abrupt jumps with each particle binding to the taper surface. The experimental validation of the sensor is demonstrated with polystyrene nanoparticles of radii 120 nm and 175 nm in the 1550 nm wavelength band.
There are two different proposals for the momentum of light in a transparent dielectric of refractive index n: Minkowskis version nE/c and Abrahms version E/(nc), where E and c are the energy and vacuum speed of light, respectively. Despite many test
s and debates over nearly a century, momentum of light in a transparent dielectric remains controversial. In this Letter, we report a direct observation of the inward push force on the end face of a free nm fiber taper exerted by the outgoing light. Our results clearly support Abraham momentum. Our experiment also indicates an inward surface pressure on a dielectric exerted by the incident light, different from the commonly recognized pressure due to the specular reflection. Such an inward surface pressure by the incident light may be useful for precise design of the laser-induced inertially-confined fusion.
A hybrid device comprising a (Al)GaAs quantum dot heterostructure and a LiNbO$_3$ surface acoustic wave resonator is fabricated by heterointegration. High acoustic quality factors $Q>4000$ are demonstrated for an operation frequency $fapprox 300$ MHz
. The measured large quality factor-frequency products $Qtimes f>10^{12}$ ensures the suppression of decoherence due to thermal noise for temperatures exceeding $T>50,mathrm{K}$. Frequency and position dependent optomechanical coupling of single quantum dots and the resonator modes is observed.
Radiation pressure, electrostriction, and photothermal forces have been investigated to evidence backaction, non-linearities and quantum phenomena in cavity optomechanics. We show here through a detailed study of the relative intensity of the cavity
mechanical modes observed when exciting with pulsed lasers close to the GaAs optical gap that optoelectronic forces involving real carrier excitation and deformation potential interaction are the strongest mechanism of light-to-sound transduction in semiconductor GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg reflector optomechanical resonators. We demonstrate that the ultrafast spatial redistribution of the photoexcited carriers in microcavities with massive GaAs spacers leads to an enhanced coupling to the fundamental 20 GHz vertically polarized mechanical breathing mode. The carrier diffusion along the growth axis of the device can be enhanced by increasing the laser power, or limited by embedding GaAs quantum wells in the cavity spacer, a strategy used here to prove and engineer the optoelectronic forces in phonon generation with real carriers. The wavelength dependence of the observed phenomena provide further proof of the role of optoelectronic forces. The optical forces associated to the different intervening mechanisms and their relevance for dynamical backaction in optomechanics are evaluated using finite-element methods. The results presented open the path to the study of hitherto seldom investigated dynamical backaction in optomechanical solid-state resonators in the presence of optoelectronic forces.
We use an optical fiber taper waveguide to probe PbS quantum dots (QDs) dried on Si photonic crystal cavities near 1.55 $mu$m. We demonstrate that a low density ($lesssim 100 mu$m$^{-2}$) of QDs does not significantly degrade cavity quality factors a
s high as $approx3times10^4$. We also show that the tapered fiber can be used to excite the QDs and collect the subsequent cavity-filtered photoluminescence, and present measurements of reversible photodarkening and QD saturation. This method represents an important step towards spectroscopy of single colloidal QDs in the telecommunications band.
