All-optical control of light and acoustic phonons through
their nonlinear interactions have many interesting applications. Along
with the recent advancement of micro/nano-fabrication techniques, in
particular, it has been intensively pursued to observe highly efficient
nonlinear effects at very low optical powers. In this talk, I will
describe some recent experiments to achieve high-efficiency
optomechanical control of light and acoustic phonons via nonlinear
optomechanical or nonlinear mechanical effects in low-dimensional
micro/nano-scaled photonic systems, e.g., micron-sized optical
waveguides and nano-membranes. I will also show how the optically
created acoustic phonons can be used to tailor the properties of
solitons generated from passively mode-locked lasers.
