Nanomechanics has brought mesoscopic physics into the world of vibrations. Because
nanomechanical systems are small, fluctuations are significant, the vibrations already …

Cavity optomechanical systems enable interactions between light and mechanical
resonators, providing a platform both for fundamental physics of macroscopic quantum …

Sensors play an important part in many aspects of daily life such as infrared sensors in
home security systems, particle sensors for environmental monitoring and motion sensors in …

We introduce and study a novel class of sensors whose sensitivity grows exponentially with
the size of the device. Remarkably, this drastic enhancement does not rely on any fine …

We present a comprehensive overview of sensor technology exploiting optical whispering
gallery mode (WGM) resonances. After a short introduction we begin by detailing the …

The field of cavity optomechanics is reviewed. This field explores the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and nanomechanical or micromechanical motion. This review …

Optical whispering-gallery mode (WGM) microresonators, confining resonant photons in a
microscale volume for long periods of time, strongly enhance light-matter interactions …

The development of magnetic field sensors for biomedical applications primarily focuses on
equivalent magnetic noise reduction or overall design improvement in order to make them …

Cavity optomechanical systems have been shown to exhibit an analogon to atomic
electromagnetically induced transparency that a transmission window for the propagation of …

“Cavity-optomechanics” aims to study the quantum properties of mechanical systems. A
common strategy implemented in order to achieve this goal couples a high finesse photonic …
