Recent experiments have demonstrated setups, such as photonic crystal structures, that in principle allow one to confine several optical and vibrational modes on a single chip. Here we start to investigate the collective nonlinear dynamics in arrays of coupled optomechanical cells. We show that such ” optomechanical arrays” can display synchronization, and that they can be described by an effective Kuramoto-type model.
