Optonanomechanical self-adaptive photonic devices based on light forces: A path to robust high-index-contrast nanophotonic circuits

We describe a proposed new class of optonanomechanical integrated photonic devices that can have self-adaptive behavior and self-adaptive optical frequency response, through the use of optical forces to manipulate their movable parts. We propose applications for this technology, and show how such de...
