		Title: Optomechanical Crystals
		Abstract: Rapid advances have been made in the field of cavity optomechanics, in which the usually feeble radiation pressure force of light is used to manipulate (and precisely monitor) mechanical motion.  These advances have moved the field from the multi-km interferometer of a gravitational wave observatory, to the optical table top, and now all the way down to a silicon microchip.  In this talk I will describe these advances, and discuss our own work to realize radiation pressure within nanoscale structures in the form of photonic-phononic crystals (optomechanical crystals).

		Title: Phoxonic Crystals: a Review
		Abstract: Periodically structured materials exhibiting simultaneous photonic and phononic band gaps offer unprecedented ways to tailor photon–phonon interactions. A review of the works reported on these materials, sometimes termed “phoxonic crystals”, is presented before highlighting theoretical and experimental results demonstrating phoxonic band gaps in structures relying on guided elastic waves.

		Title: Cavity Quantum Optomechanics
		Abstract: The overarching research objective of cavity quantum optomechanics is to investigate quantum effects of micro- and nanoscale systems and their implications for the foundations and applications of quantum physics. Our ultimate goal is to gain access to a completely new parameter regime for experimental physics with respect to both size and complexit.

		Title: Strong Optomechanical Coupling in Slot-type Photonic Crystal Cavities
		Abstract: Strong dispersive optomechanical coupling of an air-slot mode-gap photonic crystal cavity is demonstrated. The zero-point motion coupling rate can be as high as 2.56MHz.

		Title: Forward Stimulated Light Scattering by Acoustic Resonances in Photonic Crystal Fiber

		Title:  Analysis of Optomechanical Forces in Nano-Photonic Waveguides
		Abstract: We present a theoretical analysis of optomechanical forces in nano-scale photonic waveguides. In particular, we show that significant forces due to radiation pressure can be generated in dielectric slab and photonic crystal waveguides having sub-micron dimensions. We also investigate how such forces can be optimized for optomechanical transduction.

		Title: Thermal Conductivity Reduction in Lithographically Patterned Single Crystal Silicon Phononic Crystal Structures
		Abstract: In-plane thermal conductivity of lithography-based phononic crystals has been investigated. Sub-micron holes were lithographically patterned in a 500nm-thick single crystal silicon thin-film and the thermal conductivity was measured as low as 30 W/mK (at and slightly above room temperature, 20~80⁰C), which is a 50% reduction even after accounting for the effect of volume reduction of the holes.
