Abstract

AbstractNanomechanical resonators provide a versatile platform for nanoscale mass sensing and force microscopy, as well as for enhancing light‐matter interaction offering unique functionality for optomechanical applications. In this way, discovering new approaches for coupling light with the mechanical degrees of freedom opens the strong desire paths for further developing of nanomechanical technology. Here, the parametric optothermal modulation of hybrid nanomechanical systems consisting of carbon nanowire with a silicon nanoparticle on its top, is reported. The mechanism of the modulation is based on the periodic optical heating of the nanowire and further modulation of the elasticity parameters. Utilizing the silicon nanoparticle provides additional functionality owing to optical absorption enhanced with Mie resonance and the unique feature of optical Raman thermometry enabling optical monitoring of local temperature. It is shown that the parametric mechanism of modulation allows for a significant increase of the optomechanical coupling strength.
