On-chip scalable optomechanical magnetometers
read the original abstract
The dual-resonant enhancement of mechanical and optical response in cavity optomechanical magnetometers enables precision sensing of magnetic fields. In previous working prototypes of such magnetometers, a cavity optomechanical system is functionalized by manually epoxy-bonding a grain of magnetostrictive material. While this approach allows proof-of-principle demonstrations, practical applications require more scalable and reproducible fabrication pathways. In this work, we scalably fabricate optomechanical magnetometers on a silicon chip, with reproducible performance across different devices, by sputter coating a magnetostrictive film onto high quality toroidal microresonators. Furthermore, we demonstrate that thermally annealing the sputtered film can improve the magnetometer sensitivity by a factor of 6.3. A peak sensitivity of 585 pT/Hz^1/2 is achieved, which is comparable with previously reported results using epoxy-bonding.
