This thesis work focuses on the design, fabrication and measurement of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) nano-optomechanical disk resonators. These disks are both GHz frequency mechanical resonators, and high Q (>10^5) optical whispering gallery mode resonators. By confining optical and mechanical energy on a sub-µm^3 volume, they enable extremely large optomechanical coupling strengths (g0>1 MHz). We present the technological developments which enabled the integration of these resonators with optical coupling waveguides directly on a semiconductor chip, while maintaining state of the art performance. We discuss the different optomechanical coupling mechanisms (radiation pressure, photoelasticity) in GaAs disks, as well as the sources of optical and ...
