Claim Text:
1. An optomechanical device comprising: a first mirror; and a second mirror forming with the first mirror a cavity; wherein the first mirror is a movable mirror; wherein the optomechanical device is adapted so that the first mirror is moveable responsively to radiation force; wherein the optomechanical device includes a mechanical stop for stopping the first mirror at a certain position to result in a certain resonance wavelength band of the cavity being defined; and wherein the optomechanical device is operative so that light incident on the cavity in a forward direction results in a first set of radiation forces on the first mirror, and wherein the optomechanical device is further operative so that reflected light transmitted through the cavity incident on the cavity in a backward direction results in a second set of radiation forces on the first mirror, a sum of the second set of radiation forces being different from a sum of the first set of radiation forces.
