Abstract :
We fabricate 50-nm-thick SiNx photonic crystal nanomembranes for cavity quantum optomechanics, supported by complete ab-initio numerical simulations. Broadband normal incidence transmission measurements demonstrate Fano-type guided resonances near 1064-nm for enhanced reflectivity and radiation pressure effects.
