Nanostructured metasurfaces with mechanical degrees of freedom provide a highly flexible platform for optomechanical systems. In this work we investigate bilayer metasurfaces as a platform for dispersive and dissipative coupling in the frame of cavity optomechanics. In the upper layer, the metasurface supports bound states in the continuum, optical modes with high field enhancement. Simultaneously, the bottom layer provides a high mechanical susceptibility thus featuring strong optomechanical coupling. We consider two different aspects: We study metasurfaces for tunable intracavity interactions in multimode systems. Furthermore, we show, that the mechanical loss of mechanical oscillators made of high-purity GaAs can be changed by the light intensity. This effect implies a novel optomechanical coupling mechanism that will enrich the dynamics of experiments in cavity optomechanics.
