Theoretical modeling demonstrates luminescence-induced optical forces drive membrane oscillations in optomechanical resonators, indicating a novel pathway for light-driven nanoscale mechanical...
Since photons have momentum, luminescence from materials should also act to induce optical force, which we call luminescence-induced optical force (LiOF). LiOF occurs by designing an anisotropic dielectric structure surrounding an emitter. As a model, we assumed a square-type optomechanical resonator formed with the luminescent nanofilm and a metallic mirror substrate. Then, we theoretically calculated the LiOF exerted on the film and revealed that the LiOF could drive the vibrational motion of the luminescent film as an oscillator. In addition, we showed that LiOF caused the mechanical frequency shift of the oscillator, known as optical spring effect. This study will provide new insights into developing an unconventional type of optomechanics.
