We report on experimental measurements of the optical properties of thin films of poly-crystalline silicon carbide (poly-SiC) deposited by means of low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). Measurements in the mid-IR region of the EM spectrum show strong dependence of both far field transmission and surface modes upon the deposition conditions including doping levels, ratio of dichlorosilane (DCS) to 1,3 disilabutane (DSB), and anneals performed on the film. We observe the link between the relative strength of near field phonon polariton resonances, the appearance of a polariton gap, and the achievement of extraordinary optical transmission (EOT).

Since continuous Time-Of-Flight ranging systems based on electrical mixing run into fundamental limits we designed an optical MEMS (de)modulator/mixer. With our dynamic (MHz range) subwavelength pitch diffraction grating we demonstrated TOF ranging with optical mixing.

Summary form only given. In this paper, we review recent demonstrations of both mechanical amplification and cooling by radiation pressure forces in micron-scale toroidal resonators and also in silicon cantilever-based resonators. These devices contain high-Q optical modes in coexistence with high-Q mechanical modes.
