Resolving the mystery of milliwatt-threshold opto-mechanical self-oscillation in dual-nanoweb fiber

It is interesting to pose the question: How best to design an optomechanical device, with no electronics, optical cavity, or laser gain, that will self-oscillate when pumped in a single pass with only a few mW of single-frequency laser power? One might begin with a mechanically resonant and highly c...
