Optical cavities are widely used to induce strong light-matter coupling and thereby enable the presence of polaritons. While polaritons are at the source of most of the observed physics, the mirrors forming the cavity may also themselves be…
In most optomechanical systems a movable mirror is a part of an optical cavity, and its oscillation modulates either the resonance frequency of the cavity, or its coupling to the environment. There exists the third option -- which we call a…
