Cavity optomechanical sensors for atomic force microscopy

Abstract

We develop a silicon cavity optomechanical sensor for atomic force microscopy through near-field coupling between a nanocantilever and microdisk cavity. The device exhibits sub-fm/ Hz displacement sensitivity, GHz bandwidth, and > 60 dB of dynamic range.
