Title
The Casimir-Operated Microdevice For Application In Optical Networks
Abstract
The microdevice capable of producing light pulses from a continuous incident laser light do not using the mechanical wheels with a highly stable speed of rotation is suggested. This device, which is functioning like an optical chopper, is operated by a balance between the Casimir force and light pressure force acting in the Fabry-Perot microresonator formed by the two atomically thin Ag mirrors deposited on the parallel sides of a Si microstructure. The separation distance between the mirrors only slightly exceeds the half wavelength of the laser light. It is shown that this condition leads to a cyclic process resulting in the pulses of transmitted light. The feasibility of the proposed device is confirmed with detailed computations of both the Casimir and light pressure forces taking into account the realistic properties of both the microstructure and mirror materials.
