Abstract :
We study the nonlinear dynamics induced in suspended nanomembranes pierced by a photonic crystal acting as a deformable mirror operating at normal incidence. The membrane is acted upon by applying an electrostatic force induced by interdigitated electrodes integrated below the membrane. Bistability and high-order sub-harmonic resonances are observed.
