Terahertz wave switch based on photonic crystal ring resonators

In this paper, we have presented a compact and integrated terahertz wave switch design based on photonic crystal ring resonators. The photonic crystal structure with square lattice is investigated and applied for design of ring resonators. The switching mechanism of this novel switch is based on the variation of the resonant frequency of the ring resonator inserted between two parallel waveguides. The refractive index of the holes of the structure filled with polyaniline electrorheological fluids are varied by applied external electric field, the result of which is the variation of the ring resonant frequency. The proposed device is analyzed by using finite difference time domain method. Numerical simulation results show that this switch has high extinction ratio, small size, low voltage and advantages of selectivity of coupling THz wave to different output ports.

Transfer matrix methods for sound attenuation in resonators with perforated intruding inlets

A resonator with perforated intruding inlet (PII) is a superior silencer element, since the use of perforated inlet extensions can dramatically improve the acoustic performance. In this work, both a one-dimensional (1D) and a two-dimensional (2D) transfer matrix methods are developed to predict the transmission loss of the resonator without considering the mean flow. Based on the two groups of comparisons with tests, it is found out that the applicability of 1D method is limited by the resonator geometry even when the frequency is below the cut-off value of plane wave. Whereas the 2D approach is much more accurate while predicting the transmission losses within entire frequency range. Subsequently, five groups of resonators are chosen to determine the effects of structure parameters to transmission loss based on the 2D approach. The resonant frequency decreases and more resonant peaks appear when the length of inlet extension increases. A higher perforation rate leads to a shift of resonant peak towards higher frequencies. Besides, better acoustic performance could be obtained with the perforation being properly designed. Reducing the inlet/outlet radius can obviously improve the transmission loss without changing the frequency of resonant peak. The theories and conclusions in this study can be used for the design and optimization of resonators in various engineering applications.     

Compact superconducting single-and dual-band filter design using multimode stepped-impedance resonator

This study presents two multimode stepped-impedance structures to design single-and dual-band filters. Transmission zeroes are introduced for the single-band filter by using dual-mode stepped-impedance resonators. The single-band filter with high selectivity is centered at 6.02 GHz and has a fractional bandwidth(FBW) of 25.6%. Four stubs(two low frequency and two high frequency ones) are connected to the rectangular patch in the center to construct a quadruplemode resonator. The independent conditions of the center frequencies of the high and low bands of the resonator are analyzed. A dual-band filter, which operates at 1.53 GHz and 2.44 GHz with FWBs of 12.1% and 14.1%, respectively is designed. The single-and dual-band filters are both fabricated with double-sided YBCO films and they can be used in mobile and satellite communications.     

Design and experimental verification of a dual-band metamaterial filter

In this paper, we present the design, simulation, and experimental verification of a dual-band free-standing metamaterial filter operating in a frequency range of 1 THz–30 THz. The proposed structure consists of periodically arranged composite air holes, and exhibits two broad and flat transmission bands. To clarify the effects of the structural parameters on both resonant transmission bands, three sets of experiments are performed. The first resonant transmission band shows a shift towards higher frequency when the side width w_1 of the main air hole is increased. In contrast, the second resonant transmission band displays a shift towards lower frequency when the side width w_2 of the sub-holes is increased, while the first resonant transmission band is unchanged. The measured results indicate that these resonant bands can be modulated individually by simply optimizing the relevant structural parameters(w_1 or w_2) for the required band. In addition, these resonant bands merge into a single resonant band with a bandwidth of 7.7 THz when w_1 and w_2 are optimized simultaneously. The structure proposed in this paper adopts different resonant mechanisms for transmission at different frequencies and thus offers a method to achieve a dual-band and low-loss filter.     

铁电薄膜可调带通滤波器

Underwater tunable organ-pipe sound source

A highly efficient frequency-controlled sound source based on a tunable high-Q underwater acoustic resonator is described. The required spectrum width was achieved by transmitting a linear frequency-modulated signal and simultaneously tuning the resonance frequency, keeping the sound source in resonance at the instantaneous frequency of the signal transmitted. Such sound sources have applications in ocean-acoustic tomography and deep-penetration seismic tomography. Mathematical analysis and numerical simulation show the Helmholtz resonator's ability for instant resonant frequency switching and quick adjustment of its resonant frequency to the instantaneous frequency signal. The concept of a quick frequency adjustment filter is considered. The discussion includes the simplest lumped resonant source as well as the complicated distributed system of a tunable organ pipe. A numerical model of the tunable organ pipe is shown to have a form similar to a transmission line segment. This provides a general form for the principal results, which can be applied to tunable resonators of a different physical nature. The numerical simulation shows that the "state-switched" concept also works in the high-Q tunable organ pipe, and the speed of frequency sweeping in a high-Q tunable organ pipe is analyzed. The simulation results were applied to a projector design for ocean-acoustic tomography.     

The effect of ceramic vases on the acoustics of old Greek orthodox churches

The effect of resonators on the acoustics of orthodox churches was studied. Empty bottles of commercial refreshment were used as resonators. A total number of 480 resonators having the same resonant frequency, were placed inside a church, in steps of 100 resonators each time, and the impulse response of the church was measured and analyzed in 1/1 and 1/3 octave band analysis. The effect of resonators is rather poor. An amplification of sound in the near field of resonators was observed as well as a small attenuation of the sound level in the reverberant part of the field in the resonant frequency and near to a higher overtone. A remarkable increase of C80 and D50 at resonant frequency was also observed.
