Plasmonic metamaterial absorber for broadband manipulation of mechanical resonances   pp709 - 714 Hai Zhu, Fei Yi and Ertugrul Cubukcu doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.183 Coherent mechanical oscillations are optically driven on a metamaterial absorber that has a voltage-tunable Fano resonance. Inversely, optical damping of the mechanical resonance is also achieved.
