Engineering silicon nanostructures for the optimization of nonlinear and optomechanical phenomena in integrated devices

Subwavelength silicon nanostructures provide unprecedented flexibility in the control of optomechanical and nonlinear effects. In this invited presentation, we will show our most recent results on the use of nanostructures for the optimization of Kerr nonlinearities silicon. We will also discuss our recent advances in the use of subwavelength silicon nanostructures to engineer photons and phonons in suspended and non-suspended optomechanical …
