Abstract :
We present a nano-optomechanical system consisting of a 25-fg doubly-clamped nanomechanical resonator embedded in an engineered high-Q (Qo~10,000) defect nanocavity supported by two-dimensional photonic crystal. Optically transduced flexural nanomechanical motion is demonstrated at 1 GHz.
