    Abstract: An optomechanical system for transducing an optical phase shift movement including a mechanical sensor including a sensor element, the sensor element having an upper face extending mainly into a plane called longitudinal plane, when the system is at rest, the mechanical sensor being intended to receive an acoustic wave to vibrate the sensor element at a vibration frequency. The system moreover includes an optical detector capable of guiding a light radiation substantially parallel to the longitudinal plane, the optical detector having an evanescent field. The vibration of the sensor element modifies the evanescent field of the optical detector and the sensor element is moved along a direction called transverse direction, substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal plane when it vibrates.

    Abstract: A detecting device configured to detect chemical or biological species in a given environment, includes a matrix-array sensor formed from opto-mechanical discs that are optically and mechanically resonant, able to bind to species of the environment, and arranged in rows and columns. The opto-mechanical discs of a given row are optically coupled to the same optical waveguide. Actuating electrodes are provided in order to ensure the mechanical resonance of the opto-mechanical discs. One p-n junction is associated with each opto-mechanical disc, the junctions of a given column being electrically connected to the same biasing electrode, so as to block the flow through the corresponding opto-mechanical disc of a parasitic electrical current. A control circuit is configured to forward bias, during a time window of read-out of a disc of interest, the p-n junction of a disc of interest so as to place, via a thermo-optical effect, its resonant wavelength at a working wavelength, such that an optical signal propagating through the optical waveguide associated with the disc of interest is amplitude modulated.

    Abstract: An optomechanical system for transducing an optical intensity modulation movement including an optical detector and a mechanical sensor including a mobile mass, of which a receiving surface is intended to receive an external mechanical urging, and an excitation device. The excitation device is configured to vibrate the mobile mass along an excitation direction at at least one of its resonance frequencies. The vibration of the mobile mass is disrupted by the external mechanical urging, and modifies an evanescent field of the optical detector. The mobile mass has an interaction region facing the optical detector, as well as a second region, respectively having, projecting along a plane perpendicular to the excitation direction, an interaction surface area S111 and a second surface area S112, with S112
