Bonding, antibonding and tunable optical forces in asymmetric membranes

Bonding, antibonding and tunable optical forces in asymmetric membranes

We demonstrate that tunable attractive (bonding) and repulsive (anti-bonding) forces can arise in highly asymmetric structures coupled to external radiation, a consequence of the bonding/anti-bonding level repulsion of guided-wave resonances that was first predicted in symmetric systems. Our focus i...
