Opto-mechanic oscillatory system based on birefringent crystal

The paper presents a proposal on a new concept of opto-mechanic oscillatory system applying an optic birefringent crystal and a laser. Additionally to the crystal and the laser, the system uses an optic modulator maintaining mechanic torsion oscillations in the system. The principle of the system operation is described using traditional theory of optic waves in crystals and also applying the corpuscular approach based on the concept of energy and momentum of photons. We prove that operation of the system is most efficient in case of optic crystals demonstrating strong birefringence.
