Abstract:
A synchronizable optomechanical oscillator (OMO) network including at least two dissimilar silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) optomechanical resonators that can be excited to evolve into self-sustaining optomechanical oscillators (OMOs) coupled only through an optical radiation field. The tunability of the optical coupling between the oscillators enables one to externally control the dynamics and switch between coupled and individual oscillation states.
