Researchers at the University of Campinas's Gleb Wataghin Physics Institute (IFGW-UNICAMP) in São Paulo State, Brazil, have theorized a silicon photonic device that would enable optical and mechanical waves vibrating at tens of gigahertz (GHz) to interact. The proposed device is described in an article published in Scientific Reports.
