Quality factor (Q) is an important property of micro-and nano-electromechanical (MEM/NEM)
resonators that underlie timing references, frequency sources, atomic force microscopes …

Plasmonic nanostructures have attracted considerable attention for their ability to couple
with light and provide strong electromagnetic energy confinement at subwavelength …

By exploiting recent developments associated with coupled microcavities, we introduce the
concept of the PT-symmetric phonon laser with balanced gain and loss. This is …

We propose to realize mechanical parity-time (PT) symmetry in two coupled optomechanical
systems. To provide gain to one mechanical resonator and the same amount of damping to …

Abstract Metamaterials,,,, are artificial materials that exhibit unusual properties for
electromagnetic and sound waves. The quanta, namely photons and phonons, of these …

The resonant amplification of the optical and mechanical components in cavity
optomechanical systems enhances the performance of sensing applications, which rely on …

An electromechanical resonator harboring an atomlike spectrum of discrete mechanical
vibrations, namely, phonon modes, has been developed. A purely mechanical three-mode …

The interaction between light and mechanical vibrations in a cavity is often exploited to
produce higher-order sidebands (HOSs) or combs, which are used in optical communication …

Spontaneous synchronization is a significant collective behavior of weakly coupled systems.
Due to their inherent nonlinear nature, optomechanical systems can exhibit self-sustained …

We analyze work extraction from an autonomous (self-contained) heat-powered
optomechanical setup. The initial state of the quantized mechanical oscillator plays a key …
