| Popis: | We investigate the electromechanical actuation of a pair of suspended silicon nitride membranes forming a monolithic optomechanical array. By controlling the membrane resonators' tensile stress via a piezoelectrically controlled compressive force applied to the membrane chip we demonstrate noninvasive tuning of their mechanical mode spectrum, as well as strong intermode electromechanical coupling. Piezoelectric actuation is also shown to enhance the nonlinear response of the membranes, which is evidenced either by parametric amplification of the fundamental mode thermal fluctuations or by resonant driving of these modes into high amplitude states. Such an electro-optomechanical membrane array represents an attractive tunable and versatile platform for sensing, photonics and optomechanics applications. 6 pages, 5 figures |
