Abstract

Our main goal is to numerically design and further test optical and optomechanical cavities based on isotropic and anisotropic devices that could produce large mechanical and electronical non-linear interaction with the optical field. Multiples materials and device will be considered for planning experiments that will ease the understand either the nonlinear phenomena or to beacme a route to determine each material properties. We will use finite element simulations among with analytical models for maximizing theoretical optical and mechanical quality factor and optomechanical coupling. (AU)
