结构应力耦合的微悬臂阵列

微悬臂器件被广泛应用于力学显微镜和光力学研究中,实现微悬臂之间的耦合在高精密测量和量子声子网络构建方面具有重要的应用前景。不同于通过电、磁相互作用实现微纳共振器之间耦合的方法,设计并制备了通过结构应力实现耦合的微悬臂阵列。模拟和实验结果表明,这种结构应力耦合微悬臂阵列不仅可以获得较大的耦合强度和较高的力学性能,同时悬臂之间的耦合强度也容易控制。对于其它形式的微纳共振器,同样可以利用结构应力耦合这种方法来实现共振器之间耦合的阵列。     

Temperature dependence of the photothermal laser cooling efficiency for a micro-cantilever

The relationship between the photothermal cooling efficiency of a micro-cantilever’s mechanical mode and the environmental temperature is studied. The micro-cantilever and a polished fiber end form a low finesse Fabry–Perot(FP)cavity. Experimental results in a temperature range from 77 K to 298 K show that temperature has an obvious influence on photothermal cooling efficiency. The photothermal cooling efficiency, ηph, at 100 K is 10 times that at 298 K. This accords well with the theoretical analysis that the high photothermal cooling efficiency can be achieved when photothermal response time, τph, and mechanical resonant frequency, ω0, are close to the optimal photothermal cooling condition ω0τph = 1. Our study provides an important approach for high effective photothermal cooling and high-sensitivity measurement for force microscopy.     

FP腔中光驱动微悬臂的双稳效应的研究

研究了高灵敏度悬臂梁与光纤端面构筑的低精细度FP型光腔中光驱动的悬臂梁振动的双稳效应。通过改变输入到光腔内的激光功率,检测与之相应的悬臂梁的形变。在实验中发现悬臂梁的形变随激光功率的改变呈现非线性变化的关系,在激光功率增大到一定闽值时可以诱导产生光力双稳效应。通过改变光腔初始腔长成功实现了对产生光力双稳效应阈值的调节。
