In the linear limit, the structure focuses a plane wave to an ideal geometrical point image. In the presence of Kerr nonlinearity, focal shift to a Gaussian beam input is compensated at a tunable intensity value. Nonlinear Lu¨neburg lens is also capable of finite conjugate imaging. A modified aperiodic Lu¨neburg is also proposed to greatly reduce the aberration caused by the Kerr effect.","PeriodicalId":421895,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116673564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scattering optical forces and gradient optical forces, both originating from the linear momentum of light, have been widely demonstrated. Here we suggest the use of gyroscopic optical forces, originating from the angular momentum of light, to facilitate mechanical deformation. We calculated gyroscopic precession by light, arising from the angular momentum of a circularly polarized beam of light propagating inside a bent nano-waveguide. This gyroscopic optical force can deform the structure, with right-handed and left-handed circular polarization inducing opposite displacements.","PeriodicalId":421895,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123145790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We experimentally excite an 11 GHz mechanical whispering gallery mode [WGM] from an optical WGM. The mechanical vibration is detected via the red Doppler shifted light it scatters. We numerically solve the stress-strain equation to calculate the circumferentially circulating mechanical WGM and reveal mechanical WGMs with a variety of transverse shapes. The rate of vibration can be high irrespective of the fabrication tolerances as the driving forces are applied on an optical wavelength scale.","PeriodicalId":421895,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133943536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Curvilinear micropores vertical to a thin wafer are made by using DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) or X-ray LIGA. The side walls are smoothed by using magnetic field assisted finishing and annealing technologies in order that the walls can reflect X-rays. Two or four such wafers are bent to spherical shapes with different curvature of radii and stacked, to focus parallel X-rays from astronomical objects by multiple reflections. In this paper, the concept and recent advances of the MEMS X-ray optics are reviewed.","PeriodicalId":421895,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125866973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
