Abstract :
Here we study optomechanical coupling in a conventional photonic crystal defect cavity (L3). On the fundamental side, this device can be used for exhibiting quantum behavior of a ground state oscillator. On the applied side, applications such as light storage and photon-phonon conversion are envisioned.
