摘要：

We theoretically introduce a mechanism for achieving the mechanical analog of optical Kerr nonlinearity. By exploiting optomechanical interactions in deformable waveguide structures, a nonlinear phase shift proportional to the optical field intensity is induced. Resulting Kerr coefficients several orders of magnitude larger than the intrinsic silicon optical Kerr coefficient are predicted. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3236530]
