<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 14pt">We explore the impact of sub-wavelength structural control on optical dispersion, optical forces, and optical nonlinearity in nanophotonic systems. Through a fundamental examination of energy
and force, we show that optical forces in nanostructured systems radically change the nature of nonlinear interactions. Strong light-boundary interactions yield new forms of Brillouin nonlinearity that produce tailorable coherent phonon emission in nanophotonic
systems. Exploiting these strong light-matter interactions, we demonstrate stimulated Brillouin scattering in silicon waveguides for the first time, yielding radically enhanced and tailorable third order nonlinearities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
