	<title>New Optomechanical Crystal Allows Confinement of Light and Sound</title>

The interaction of light quanta (photons) and sound quanta (phomons) are so strong that they produce significant mechanical vibrations. 'Indeed, Painter points out, the interactions between sound and light in this device&mdash;dubbed an optomechanical crystal&mdash;can result in mechanical vibrations with frequencies as high as tens of gigahertz, or 10 billion cycles per second. Being able to achieve such frequencies, he explains, gives these devices the ability to send large amounts of information, and opens up a wide array of potential applications&mdash;everything from lightwave communication systems to biosensors capable of detecting (or weighing) a single macromolecule. It could also, Painter says, be used as a research tool by scientists studying nanomechanics. "These structures would give a mass sensitivity that would rival conventional nanoelectromechanical systems because light in these structures is more sensitive to motion than a conventional electrical system is."'"</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>The effect of coherent Raman scattering has been around for a while, but only recently have we seen bulk excitation of materials via coupling to the stokes and anti-stokes modes.  Just because Raman effect exists and you happen to have an optical cavity undergoing some sort of mechanical parametric excitation does not imply that this is the mechanism by which your excitation was generated.  Confirming the presance of raman sidebands in the cavities was one small step.  Creating high quality factor oscillators driven by radiation pressure is another huge step forward.  Characterizing these crystals so that they can be used for single molecule detection opens up the nano-scale for us to explore and exploit.  This stuff has been in the making for a while and in that sense isn't news at least to applied physicists working in this area, but calling developmental research "crap" is unjustified.  Simply because we had a theory of gravity for centuries did not  prevent launching something into orbi. From changing the way we live and think.</p></htmltext>

	<htmltext>I'm not sure what applications extremely high frequency vibrations have, but I'm thinking that this could be used to make better quality audio speakers, microphones, ultrasound, sonar, etc.<br> <br>

If you have such fine control over vibrations, perhaps you could create fancier waveforms, for sound that has weird properties. Phased array sonar?<br>
Constructive and destructive interference?<br>
I own a pair of Bose noise-canceling headphones that I enjoy, so maybe that tech would be enhanced by these crystals. Or perhaps you could make sonic weapons by building up massive disruptor wave pulses<br> <br>

I'm trying to think of what high frequency synchrotron radiation makes possible through EM. The extremly short wavelengths allow imaging of very tiny objects like molecules. So would extremely short mechanical wavelengths allow extremely fine sonic imaging of... individual cells?</htmltext>
