Generation of phonons from electrostriction in small-core optical waveguides
We investigate the generation of acoustic phonons from electrostriction of optical waves in small core waveguides. We specifically consider simple step-index strip waveguides composed of silica or silicon in air, with sub-micron lateral dimensions. Such waveguides support one or a few optical modes,...
