Low Noise Opto-Electro-Mechanical Modulator for RF-to-Optical Transduction in Quantum CommunicationsBonaldi, Michele (author), Borrielli, Antonio (author), Di Giuseppe, Giovanni (author), Malossi, Nicola (author), Morana, B. (author), Natali, Riccardo (author), Piergentili, Paolo (author), Sarro, Pasqualina M (author), Serra, E. (author), Vitali, David (author)In this work, we present an Opto-Electro-Mechanical Modulator (OEMM) for RF-to-optical transduction realized via an ultra-coherent nanomembrane resonator capacitively coupled to an rf injection circuit made of a microfabricated read-out able to improve the electro-optomechanical interaction. This device configuration can be embedded in a...journal article 2023

(author), Sarro, Pasqualina M (author), Serra, E. (author)Abstract: Phenomenological models aiming to join gravity and quantum mechanics often predict effects that are potentially measurable in refined low-energy experiments. For instance, modified commutation relations between position and momentum, that account for a minimal scale length, yield a dynamics that can be codified in additional...journal article 2020

(author), Bonaldi, M. (author)In view of the integration of membrane resonators with more complex MEMS structures, we developed a general fabrication procedure for circular shape SiN<sub><i>x</i></sub> membranes using Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE). Large area and high-stress SiN<sub><i>x</i></sub> membranes were fabricated and used as optomechanical resonators in a...journal article 2016
