Ultralow-dissipation optomechanical resonators on a chip
We have been able to fully explain the mechanical properties of toroid microcavities. This enabled us to devise novel monolithic on-chip resonators which for the first time combine ultra-high optical finesse with unprecedented mechanical quality factors. This development represents an important step in understanding mechanical dissipation and is an essential ingredient towards observing quantum effects in mesoscopic mechanical oscillators.
