  • Abstract
    We demonstrate strong coupling between two stacked micro-optomechanical silicon nitride disks. The induced frequency splitting almost spans a full free-spectral range. Mechanical oscillations excited by repulsive/attractive gradient forces modulate the coupling modulation at several MHz.
