Abstract
An optomechanical laser includes: a basal member; a mechanical transducer; a laser disposed on the mechanical transducer, the laser being displaced along the displacement axis in response to a displacement of the mechanical transducer relative to the basal member; a mirror disposed on the armature in optical communication with the laser and opposing the laser; the armature disposed on the basal member and rigidly connecting the mirror to the basal member such that the mirror and the armature move in synchrony with the basal member, and the armature provides a substantially constant distance between the basal member and the mirror; and a cavity comprising: the laser; the mirror; and a cavity length between the laser and the mirror that changes in response to displacement of the laser according to the displacement of the mechanical transducer relative to the basal member, the optomechanical laser providing laser light.
