| Abstract |
This project aims to demonstrate Radiation Pressure driven Optomechanical Oscillators
(RP-OMOs) with low phase noise and low power operation suitable for various applications in
optical and RF communications. In particular, chip scale atomic clocks with low power
consumption can be realized by replacing its power-hungry quartz-based microwave synthesizer
with the proposed RP-OMO structure. The Q-boosted RP-OMO design approach of this work makes
it possible to optimize both optical and mechanical design to simultaneously reduce the phase
noise and threshold power of these oscillators while providing electromechanical coupling for
electrical output and voltage controlled frequency tuning, as needed for the intended CSAC
application. |
