Abstract :
An optical fiber taper placed in the near field of a “split-beam” photonic crystal nanobeam cavity with a physical gap at the cavity center breaks the system´s vertical dielectric symmetry, enabling selective optomechanical coupling to multiple cantilever resonances using a single optical nanocavity mode.
