We use metal nanostructures (nanoplasmonics) excited with dual frequency lasers to generate and detect high frequency (> 10 GHz) sound wave resonances in water. The difference frequency between the two lasers causes beating in the…
We describe a system for interrogating the acoustic properties of sub-nanoliter liquid samples within an open microfluidics platform. Sessile droplets were deposited onto integrated optomechanical sensors, which possess…

We present a self-contained study of the dynamics of oscillating nanomenisci anchored on nanometric topographical defects around a cylindrical nanofiber -- radius below 100 nm. Using frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM), we…
Tracking the evolution of an individual nanodroplet of liquid in real-time remains an outstanding challenge. Here a miniature optomechanical resonator detects a single nanodroplet landing on a surface and measures its subsequent evaporation…
Vibrating nano- and micromechanical resonators have been the subject of research aiming at ultrasensitive mass sensors for mass spectrometry, chemical analysis and biomedical diagnosis. Unfortunately, their merits diminish dramatically in…
The effects of ultrasound on the dynamics of an air-water meniscus in a planar micro-geometry are investigated experimentally. The sonicated meniscus exhibits harmonic traveling waves or standing waves, the latter corresponding to a higher…

High-Q optical resonators allow label-free detection of individual nanoparticles through perturbation of optical signatures but have practical limitations due to reliance on random diffusion to deliver particles to the sensing region. We…
Optical dielectric resonances have the ability to modulate optical energy, and by coupling multiple resonators into photonic molecules, new opportunities emerge in spectral engineering. Using electron-beam spectroscopy, in a 300-keV…

Currently, optical- or mechanical-resonances are commonly used in microfluidic research. However, optomechanical oscillations by light pressure were not shown with liquids. This is because replacing the surrounding air with water inherently…
