Abstract

The field of optomechanics [1] seeks to explore the interaction between light and mechanical motion. Optomechanical system are typically composed of a single mechanical and a single optical mode interacting via radiation pressure: ${\widehat{H}}_{\mathrm{int}}=-\hslash g_0{\widehat{a}}^{†}\widehat{a}(\widehat{b}+{\widehat{b}}^{†})$, where $\widehat{a}/\widehat{b}$ are the photon/phonon operators. In this talk, we will introduce arrays of optomechanical cells, and discuss our first theoretical results on the nonlinear dynamics of such a setup [2,3].
