NIST Optomechanical Transducer links sound, light, radio waves.
March 30, 2016 | Comments Off on NIST Optomechanical Transducer links sound, light, radio waves.
Published in Nature Photonics, researchers at NIST developed “piezo-optomechanical circuit” that converts signals among optical, acoustic, and radio waves. According to one of said paper’s co-authors, Kartik Srinivasan, this device might enable detailed studies of interactions and foster development of phononic circuitry that can be modified with photons. “This work,” said Srinivasan, “presents one platform for transducing information between different carriers.”
