体声波力传感器灵敏度的微分-综合分析法

为了分析基于应力/应变效应的体声波(BAW)力传感器的敏感机理、准确计算其灵敏度,提出了一种用于BAW力传感器灵敏度分析的微分-综合分析法。该方法借鉴了微积分的原理,在Mason等效电路模型中将一个完整的BAW谐振器替换为多个谐振器微元的并联,从而将谐振器有源区面积A上应力/应变场的有限元计算结果与压电薄膜材料的力学特性、谐振器微元的电声学特性关联起来;最后,在射频电路仿真软件中进行等效电路的综合,得到整个BAW谐振器在应力/应变场作用下的阻抗特性曲线及其串/并联谐振频率。当BAW谐振器微元的划分足够细密时,获得的灵敏度分析结果将足够精确。为了论证该方法的原理,给出了一个直观的校核案例。以一个嵌入式FBAR结构的四梁BAW加速度计表头为例,介绍了该方法用于BAW力传感器灵敏度分析的详细过程。虽然案例中只讨论了一种应力/应变型BAW力传感器的单一力敏机理,但该方法具有普适性。并且,当谐振器微元小到接近其压电材料晶格的尺度时,就能与压电薄膜的力-声-电特性的第一性原理计算结果关联起来,实现从微观材料特性到介观器件物理的多尺度计算。

Acoustic meta-materials in MEMS BAW resonators

This paper presents a meta-material-based design method for bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonators with enhanced characteristics compared to those obtained with the typical bulk material implementation. We demonstrate the novel use of empty inclusions (i.e., ‘holes’) in bulk materials for engineering their acoustic (mechanical) properties (e.g. Young’s modulus E, Poisson’s ratio ν and mass density ρ) to tune and achieve optimal acoustical performance/characteristics. Inclusions have been demonstrated before to produce phononic band gaps for wave trapping. We focus on the propagation characteristics of the meta-materials brought into being by these inclusions. We implement patterns of holes with different sizes and distributions, to effectively scatter acoustic waves in bar-type BAW resonators and to devise the desired resonator properties, e.g., the resonant frequency. While the available bulk material is homogeneous and isotropic, the bar consists of an equivalent non-homogeneous material that can for example be distributed by design in order to shrink the overall resonator size, enhance electromechanical transduction coefficients or reject spurious modes. Our paper compares two extraction methods for the equivalent material properties of a periodically hole-punched material: the steady-state mechanical simulation of a unit cell and its ‘phase delay’ counterpart. We discuss their validity and practical use for the design of bar resonators.     

INTERFEROMETRIC DETECTION OF OPTICAL PHASE SHIFT USING TWIN BEAMS

An interferometric detection scheme to measure optical phase shift with sensi tivity beyond the shot noise limit is proposed. The theoretical calculation shows that using the quantum correlated twin beams produced from an optical parametric amplifier as the input fields of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the minimum detectable phase shift will exceed the shot noise limit N^-1/2 and approach the Heisenberg limit N^-1. The parametric dependences of the minimum detectable phase shift on the nonlinear interaction, input photon number, and detection efficiency are shown.

Intracavity Multi-Photon-Absorption and the Quantum Noise Spectrum of Light

The intensity noise spectrum is investigated quantum-mechanically for incident coherent light passing through a resonator which is filled with a k-photon-absorber. For k? 2 the noise of the outgoing light is reduced below the shot noise level the reduction being maximal for frequencies that are small in comparison to the cavity bandwidth. It turns out that the highest possible value of this low-frequency noise reduction is obtained when the resonator losses due to transmission through the outcoupling mirror are 2k – 1 times as large as the k-photon absorption losses. In this case the noise at zero frequency is reduced with respect to the shot noise level by a factor of k/(2k – 1).

Internal Optical Parametric Oscillator with SBS Phase Conjugate Resonator

It is reported a novel optical parametric oscillator with KTP as medium crystal inside a Nd∶YAG phase conjugate resonator. In the phase conjugate resonator, the laser beam quality is promoted by phase-conjugate mirror, which is realized by stimulated Brillouin scattering effect, and Q-switch is generated simultaneously. With this device, the laser output at 1.57 μm with 15 mJ energy and 8 ns pulse width is obtained.     

An active resonator system for CW-ESR measurement operating at 700 MHz

An active resonator system operating at 700 MHz, which can attain a high Q for CW-ESR measurements of a high loss sample, was developed. This system consisted of a loop-gap resonator (LGR), a receiver coil, an excitation coil, and a phase tunable amplifier. A part of the RF power at the LGR was picked up by the receiver coil, amplified, and irradiated to the LGR again by the excitation coil, which made up a feedback circuit. Because the feedback circuit provided the energy that canceled the loss in the resonator, the Q of the active resonator system increased. When a sample tube (inner diameter, 20 mm; axial length, 31 mm) containing a nitroxide radical and physiological saline solution was placed in the resonator, the Q could be varied from 55 to 4000. It was possible to obtain a Q of the active resonator system with sample that was higher than that of the value of the LGR without a sample in a no-feedback condition. The ESR signal intensity increased up to 7 times with the increase in Q. The sensitivity increased up to 50%, which was a much smaller advance than that of the Q, because the noise level also increased with the increase in signal intensity.     

1/f Noise in a nonequilibrium phase transition: Experiment and mathematical model

The results of an experimental investigation of a high-power source of broad-band 1/f noise, which can be generated in a system of two interacting nonequilibrium phase transitions, are presented. This process takes place when a normal conductor-superconductor phase transition is superposed on the critical liquid-vapor transition in a boiling coolant. A mathematical model describing a nonequilibrium phase transition in a complicated nonlinear system with two interacting order parameters, which involves the conversion of white noise into stochastic fluctuations of the order parameters with 1/f and 1/f ² spectra, is proposed. The properties of the model fluctuations with a 1/f spectrum agree qualitatively with the experimentally observed properties. A characteristic difference between the model fluctuations with a 1/f ² spectrum and random walks is also noted. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 113, 1748–1757 (May 1998)     

X-ray topography analysis of bulk acoustic wave resonators

X-ray topography is first used to totally examine the fundamental modes of acoustic oscillations in the bulk-acoustic-wave (BAW) resonator on the base of an AT-cut quartz crystal at the first and third harmonics. As is evident from the experiments, the anharmonic longitudinal oscillations of the resonator can be visualized, just as the fundamental transverse acoustic oscillations can be. The amplitude-frequency response (AFR) is related to the frequency dependence of diffracted x-ray intensity.     

New scheme of a petawatt laser based on nondegenerate parametric amplification of chirped pulses in DKDP crystals

The ultra-broadband phase matching was experimentally observed in a DKDP crystal upon parametric amplification of signal radiation with a wavelength of 911 nm in a pump field with a wavelength of 527 nm. The original scheme was used to excite the first parametric amplification stage by chirped pulses of idler radiation with a wavelength of 1250 nm. The saturated gain of a three-stage parametric amplifier was equal to 10⁸.     

Experimental study on the imaging of the squeezed state light at 1064 nm

Stable, low noise, infrared squeezed state tight at 1064 nm is generated by utilizing optical parametric down-conversion (OPDC) technique based on periodically poled KTiOPO₄ in a optical parametric amplifier (OPA) resonator. A non-classical noise reduction of 2.58 dB below the shot noise is observed through balanced homodyne detection. The squeezed state light is used to set up an imaging system for high-resolution imaging, and it is found that the resolution of image based on the amplitude-squeezed light is 1.26 times larger than that of infrared coherent light under the same intensity. The experimental results indicate that squeezed light is an important non-classical light, which can overcome the coherent laser shot-noise, the classical diffraction limit and limit of quantum noise.     

Threshold for strong thermal dephasing in periodically poled KTP in external cavity frequency doubling

We present a measurement series of the efficiency of periodically poled KTP used for second-harmonic generation in an external phase-locked cavity. Due to the high absorption (0.01 cm⁻¹) in the PPKTP crystal at the pump wavelength a strong thermal dephasing of the periodically poled grating is observed for high pump powers. For four different resonator setups, it was experimentally found that a threshold parameter could be defined as the ratio between the focal intensity in the crystal and the single-pass conversion efficiency. The value of this threshold for the onset of strong thermal dephasing was found to be 1.41×10¹⁰ W² m⁻² in our 30-mm long PPKTP sample. This threshold parameter marks the onset of thermally induced instability that leads to a degradation of the SHG conversion efficiency. Above the threshold the shape of the resonance peaks of the resonator changed from symmetrical into triangular making phase locking difficult.     

Measurement of στ product of solid state laser materials by an alternative method: Application to Nd3+ doped YVO4 crystal for 4 F 3/2→4 I 11/2 transition

In this paper an alternative approach for measurement of στ product for ⁴ F _3/2→⁴ I _11/2 transition of Nd³⁺ doped YVO₄ crystal is reported. In this method a microchip laser is formed by keeping a small piece of the sample in plane-plane resonator and a diode laser (808 nm) is used for pumping. The pump power induced thermal lensing effect is used to make the cavity stable. The cavity mode area is estimated by measuring the thermal lens focal length at the threshold and the average pump area is measured by Gaussian fit to the intensity profiles of the pump beam. The value of στ product of Nd:YVO₄ crystal obtained by this method is within 10% of the reported values. The advantage of this method is that it is a simple method for direct measurement of στ product of laser crystals.

Numerical simulation of ultra-broadband phase-sensitive optical parametric amplification of image

The ultra-broadband phase-sensitive optical parametric amplification and de-amplification of image in a BBO nonlinear crystal with type I phase-matching are theoretically investigated. Amplified images with a gain of 10⁸ and a bandwidth as broad as 420 nm are realized using a 25 GW/cm ⁻² peak pump-power density with 1.125 ps chirped-pulse duration. The spatial resolution after optical parametric amplification is estimated to be q ₀ =200 rad/mm (i.e., 31.8 lines/mm), which corresponds to the size of the minimum resolvable feature of the amplified image ~5 μm.     

Synchronisationseffekte in einer linearen Anordnung aus N Josephson-Verbindungen

Synchronization Effects in a Linear Array of N Josephson Junctions Within the frame of the RSJ model we investigate the synchronization of the oscillations in a linear array of N identical Josephson junctions shunted by an electromagnetic resonator. Using an adiabatic approximation to the first order of the parameter I_cI the reduced equations of the slowly varying phases are derived. These equations allow the detailed investigation of all the stationary states of the system. Only the coherent state in the inductive regime and the radiationless state in the capacitive regime are found to be stable. Including noise effects we discuss the order parameter concept for the resonator current in the case N ? 1.     

I/f noise in systems showing stochastic resonance

Stochastic resonator systems with input and/or output 1/f noise have been studied. Disordered magnets/dielectrics serve as examples for the case of output 1/f noise with white noise (thermal excitation) at the input of the resonators. Due to the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, the output noise is related to the out-of-phase component of the periodic peak of the output spectrum. Spin glasses and ferromagnets serve as interesting examples of coupled stochastic resonators. A proper coupling can lead to an extremely large signal-to-noise ratio. As a model system, a l/f-noise-driven Schmitt trigger has been investigated experimentally to study stochastic resonance with input 1/f noise. Under proper conditions, we have found several new nonlinearity effects, such as peaks at even harmonics, holes at even harmonics, and 1/f noise also in the output spectrum.
