Synchronization of micromechanical oscillators using light

Abstract: Synchronization, the emergence of spontaneous order in coupled systems, is of fundamental importance in both physical and biological systems. We demonstrate the synchronization of two dissimilar silicon nitride micromechanical oscillators, that are spaced apart by a few hundred nanometers and are coupled through an optical cavity radiation field. The tunability of the optical coupling between the oscillators enables one to externally control the dynamics and switch between coupled and individual oscillation st… Show more

“…Because the perimeter is circular, the grazing angle of light at the outer interface remains small the entire way along the optical path. This allows for the light to experience total internal reflection, and remain contained within the cavity, as shown in On-chip geometries such as microrings [27,124], microdisks [125][126][127][128][129] (a), double-disks [130][131][132][133][134][135][136][137] (b) and microtoroids [1,26,97,[138][139][140][141] (c) are made through lithography techniques, while microspheres [142][143][144] (d) are typically made by melting the end of an optical fibre (though they can also be fabricated on-chip [145]). Microbottle [146,147] or microbubble [148,149] resonators (e) are made through a more complicated melting and pulling process, and are often used in sensing applications.…”

“…We employ a double-disk Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) geometry, previously reported by several groups [130][131][132][133][134][135]137]. Such a cavity consists of two several-hundred-nanometre thick stacked disks, separated by a thin sacrificial layer which is etched-out to leave an air gap ( Fig.…”
