Abstract

We show that nano-mechanical interaction using atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to map out mode-patterns of an optical micro-resonator with high spatial accuracy. Furthermore we demonstrate how the Q-factor and center wavelength of such resonances can be sensitively modified by both horizontal and vertical displacement of an AFM tip consisting of either Si3N4 or Si material. With a silicon tip we are able to tune the resonance wavelength by 2.3 nm, and to set Q between values of 615 and zero, by expedient positioning of the AFM tip. We find full on/off switching for less than 100 nm vertical, and for 500 nm lateral displacement at the strongest resonance antinode locations.

Figs. 3(a)-3(c): Si3N4 probe in contact mode at different wavelengths λs ; Figs. 3(d)-3(f): Si tip in tapping mode with different tapping amplitudes resulting in different average probe heights (h). (a) At resonance (λs =1539.25 nm ~λr,0 ), showing lower transmission (dark regions) near antinodes of the optical field. (b) λs slightly larger than λr,0 . (c) λs~λr,0 , showing the inverse pattern of Fig. 3(a). (d) Si tip, tapping mode, large average height has small optical effect. (e), (f) Smaller average heights give larger optical effects.

In close proximity to the field maximum no data could be obtained because the transmission had dropped below the noise level.
