High‐Stress Si3N4 Reflective Membranes Monolithically Integrated With Cavity Bragg Mirrors
Silicon nitride membranes are record‐breaking mechanical sensors, yet their delicate fabrication and alignment into precision optical cavities have confined them to the laboratory. A monolithic process directly integrates suspended high‐stress Si3N4${\rm Si}_{3}{\rm N}_4$ membranes onto Bragg mirrors, forming self‐aligned optomechanical cavities in ...

Massively Degenerate Coherent Perfect Absorption in Gradient‐Index Fibers
A coherent perfect absorber (CPA) normally operates for only one or very few spatial modes. The CPA proposed here uses a gradient‐index (GRIN) fiber to absorb hundreds of spatial modes at once, its self‐imaging property replacing the bulky free‐space degenerate cavity of earlier designs. An analytic criterion sets how much modal degeneracy is required,
