Parametrical Optomechanical Oscillations in PhoXonic Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators

Sci Rep. 2019 May 9;9(1):7163. doi: 10.1038/s41598-019-43271-x.

Abstract

We report on the experimental and theoretical analysis of parametrical optomechanical oscillations in hollow spherical phoxonic whispering gallery mode resonators due to radiation pressure. The optically excited acoustic eigenmodes of the phoxonic cavity oscillate regeneratively leading to parametric oscillation instabilities.
