Optomechanical coupling between a mechanical oscillator and light trapped in a cavity increases when the coupling takes place in a reduced volume. Here we demonstrate a GaAs semiconductor optomechanical disk system where both optical and mechanical energy can be confined in a sub-micron scale interaction volume. We observe giant optomechanical coupling rate up to 100 GHz/nm involving picogram mass mechanical modes with frequency between 100 MHz and 1 GHz. The mechanical modes are singled-out measuring their dispersion as a function of disk geometry. Their Brownian motion is optically resolved with a sensitivity of 10^(-17)m/sqrt(Hz) at room temperature and pressure, approaching the quantum limit imprecision.
