crystals, including acoustic and elastic wave propagation in homogeneous and periodic …

Brillouin scattering in optical fibres is a fundamental interaction between light and sound
with important implications ranging from optical sensors to slow and fast light. In usual …

The interaction between light and mesoscopic mechanical degrees of freedom has been
investigated under various perspectives, from spectroscopy in condensed matter, optical …

With the fast development of computational mechanics and the capacity as well as the
speed of modern computers, simulation-based structural optimization has become an …

Wavelength-scale periodic microstructuring dramatically alters the optical properties of
materials. An example is glass photonic crystal fibre (PCF), which guides light by means of a …

In this paper we study and design quasi-2D optomechanical crystals, waveguides, and
resonant cavities formed from patterned slabs. Two-dimensional periodicity allows for in …
