Investigation of optomechanics principles for new device paradigms
Abstract
Fundamental and applied aspects of optical forces in solid-state materials will be investigated through a set of experiments, and associated theory and design capabilities will be refined. Despite the broad importance of the optical force density, it remains poorly understood, notably in condensed matter systems. As a result, concomitant application frontiers are yet to be explored. This project will emphasize the physics related to optical force density and the pursuit of high-impact domains relevant to Air Force and Space Force applications, and the work will enable new sensing, control, and integrated photonics paradigms.
