Title: Integrated levitated optomechanical system
Abstract: An optomechanics system can be defined as one in which light and mechanical system interact. These kind of systems can be found in many forms and sizes, and have been used for high-sensitivity sensing and quantum measurement. Among them, one of the most promising systems is the levitated optomechanics, in which a particle is trapped and thus forms an special optomechanical system. Within these system, the particle’s isolation to the environment results in an extremely high quality factor approaching 1012. In this project, I will explore the combination of macroscopic levitation system and micro-nano fabrication, to enable a integrated levitated optomechanical system, and finally to find applications in biomedicine and high-sensitivity measurement.
