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 losses 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.
Photonic crystals use periodic structures to create forbidden frequency regions for optical wave propagation, that allow for the creation and integration of complex optical functions in small footprint devices. Such strategy has also been successfull
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 resonator
Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of single-layer MoS2 mechanical resonators. The fabricated resonators have fundamental resonance frequencies in the order of 10 MHz to 30 MHz (depending on their geometry) and their quality factor is about ~55 at
Aluminum nitride (AlN) has been widely used in microeletromechanical resonators for its excellent electromechanical properties. Here we demonstrate the use of AlN as an optomechanical material that simultaneously offer low optical and mechanical loss
Vibrating nano- and micromechanical resonators have been the subject of research aiming at ultrasensitive mass sensors for mass spectrometry, chemical analysis and biomedical diagnosis. Unfortunately, their merits diminish dramatically in liquids due
