Popis: We demonstrate the controllable optomechanical coupling and Drude self-pulsation plasma locking in chip-scale optomechanical cavities. The optomechanical coupling between the optical and mechanical degrees-of-freedom is dependent on the intracavity energy via the coupled fiber position. With the deterministic optomechanical stiffening, the interaction between optomechanical oscillation and self-pulsation can be controlled. Intracavity locking with 1/6 subharmonics is obtained over a wide optical detuning range of 190.01–192.23 THz. These results bring new insights into implementations of nonlinear dynamics at mesoscopic scale, with potential applications from photonic signal processing to nonlinear dynamic networks.
