Optomechanical systems have been exploited in ultrasensitive measurements of force,
acceleration and magnetic fields. The fundamental limits for optomechanical sensing have …

Squeezed light has long been used to enhance the precision of a single optomechanical
sensor. An emerging set of proposals seeks to use arrays of optomechanical sensors to …

The new generation of strained-silicon-nitride resonators harbors great promise for scanning
force microscopy, especially when combined with the extensive toolbox of cavity …

Low-frequency and 1/f noise are common measurement limitations that arise in a variety of
physical processes. Mitigation methods for these noises are dependent on their source …

Acceleration measurement is widely used in military, civil, and industrial applications.
However, it is difficult for traditional microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) …

Short-term changes in the resonance frequency of silicon nitride (SiN) nanomechanical
resonators can be measured very precisely due to low thermomechanical fluctuations …

We have realized a suspended, high-reflectivity focusing metamirror (f= 10 cm, R≈ 99%), by
gradient pitch photonic crystal patterning of a Si3N4 membrane. The design enables …

Optomechanical systems can be used to probe weak forces arising from fundamental
physical phenomena. Here, we analyze experimental efforts to search for ultralight dark …
