Abstract :
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) have proven a useful tool for dynamically manipulating the optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures. Recently we have shown that the mechanical deformation induced by a SAW on a two-dimensional photonic crystal membrane (PCM) spectrally tunes the resonance frequency of nanocavities within the PCM employing phase locked stroboscopic excitation.
