Non-Hermitian optics is a burgeoning field at the intersection of quantum physics,
electrodynamics, and nanophotonics. It provides a new perspective of the role of gain and …

This broad review summarizes recent advances and “hot” research topics in nanophononics
and elastic, acoustic, and mechanical metamaterials based on results presented by the …

Phononic crystals and acoustic metamaterials are periodic structures whose effective
properties can be tailored at will to achieve extreme control on wave propagation. Their …

Although the interaction between light and motion in cavity optomechanical systems is
inherently nonlinear, experimental demonstrations to date have allowed a linearized …

Optical frequency combs (OFCs) are essential in precision metrology, spectroscopy,
distance measurement, and optical communications. Significant advances have been made …

We investigate theoretically nonreciprocal chaos in a spinning optomechanical resonator.
We find that under the Sagnac effect induced by spinning a resonator, the chaotic motion …

We propose a scheme to enhance quantum entanglement in an optomechanical system by
exploiting the so-called Duffing nonlinearity. Our model system consists of two mechanically …

Recent demonstrations of chaos-based secure communication have proven the feasibility of
secured transmission of high-speed (tens of Gbit/s) signals over certain distances (∼ 100 …

Driven by a sufficiently powerful pump laser, a cavity optomechanical system will stabilize in
coupled oscillations of its cavity field and mechanical resonator. It was assumed that the …

A new class of hybrid systems that couple optical and mechanical nanoscale devices is
under development. According to their interaction concepts, two groups of opto-mechanical …
