Nonpotential surface waves in magnetoactive plasma structures

Conclusions In this paper we have studied the dispersion characteristics of nonpotential surface waves in two- and three-layered magnetized wave-bearing structures. For the case of a vacuum cavity in an infinite plasma, we have obtained an analytic solution for the SW frequency in a regime which is highly nonpotential. We have shown that when the thickness of the plasma layer in a vacuum-plsma-vacuum waveguide is reduced, the dispersion changes its character.We have investigated numerically how magnetic fields, the radii of the cylinders, and the azimuthal wave number affect the LF and HF branches of the spectrum of surface waves.Khar'kov State University.

Optically S-polarized surface waves in symmetrical nonlinear sensors: Thermal effects

A surface wave in a planar nonlinear waveguide is a current problem that has several applications in modern electronics and optics such as optical sensors design. The effect of thermal stress on the optical performance of a nonlinear symmetrical sensor is studied. The mathematical forms of the dispersion equation and thermal-stress sensitivity are analytically derived and plotted numerically. It is found that the thermal sensitivity of the sensor can be controlled by tuning the core size, by changing the loading materials, and by carefully selecting the materials.     

Generation of surface waves by three-dimensional vortex structures

Propagation of surface acoustic waves in structures incorporating high-temperature superconductors

Analysis of the propagation of surface acoustic waves (SAW) was carried out in piezoelectric-high-temperature superconductor (HTSC) film-dielectric structure near the superconducting transition of the HTSC film. By considering a change in the resistive state of the film, its inhomogeneity in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, and the mechanical load of the piezoelectric, equations describing the temperature dependence of the velocity and attenuation of the SAW were obtained. Our calculations agree with experimental results for LiNbO₃-YBa₂Cu₃O₇ structures if possible inhomogeneities in the film are taken into account.Institute for Automated Control Systems and Radio Electronics, Tomsk.

Fiber-optic sensors based on fiber-optic lasers and microoptomechanical resonance structures

Fiber-optic sensors based on fiber lasers and the light-excited microoptomechanical resonance structures are proposed and experimentally studied. The variants of multichannel measuring systems with frequency division multiplexing are considered. The number of the measurement channels and the needed power of the fiber laser are estimated. It is demonstrated that the frequency deviation of the microcavity can be measured in the limits $ \left| {\frac{{\Delta f}} {f}} \right| $ \left| {\frac{{\Delta f}} {f}} \right| ≤ 0.1 with a relative error of ±2 × 10⁻⁶, which allows the creation of fiber-optic sensors with a measurement dynamic range of up to 2 × 10⁴.     

Fiber-optic sensors based on fluctuation oscillations of waveguide micro-optomechanical resonance structures

The characteristics of fiber-optic oscillation frequency sensors of deformation and temperature that employ the thermal fluctuation resonant oscillations in the SMS(M) fiber structures (sensitive elements that represent oscillation systems with distributed parameters based on series-connected single- and multimode step-index fibers) are developed and studied. The measurements of the fluctuation oscillations are based on the amplitude-phase modulation of the optical wave in the multimode oscillating section due to variations in the path-length difference and tunneling of interfering beams. Accuracies of temperature and relative deformation measurements of ±2°C and ±10^?5, respectively, are demonstrated. The estimation of the ultimate measurement sensitivity of the resonance frequency is based on the approximate calculation of the Allan variance that shows a possibility of the above sensors with temperature and deformation threshold sensitivities of 0.001°C and 10^?8, respectively.     

Parameter optimization of surface acoustic waves via multilayer structures

A method and algorithm for numerical analysis and optimization of the basic parameters of electroacoustic surface waves propagating in multilayer piezoelectric structures are described. Combinations of layer materials and piezoelectric substrates for which an electroacoustic surface wave has optimal parameters of propagation (low dispersion, high electromechanical coupling coefficient, high thermal stability, low diffraction losses, etc.) are found.     

The propagation of magnetostatic surface waves in ferrite/superconductor structures

An electrodynamic model that describes the dispersion of magnetostatic surface waves in ferrite/superconductor structures is suggested. On its basis, a new approach to determining the microwave sheet resistance R _S of superconducting films in a magnetic field is elaborated. The values calculated (R _S =0.20–0.96 mΩ) agree with results obtained by the Tauber method. For YIG/YBCO structures, the controllable phase shift is about 1.5π when the depth of magnetostatic wave penetration into the YBCO film varies from 2.0 to 0.8 μm.     

Toward single-molecule detection with sensors based on propagating surface plasmons

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors are known to be able to detect very low surface concentrations of (bio)molecules on macroscopic areas. To explore the potential of SPR biosensors to achieve single-molecule detection, we have minimized the read-out area (to ～64 μm²) by employing a sensor system based on spectroscopy of surface plasmons generated on a diffractive structure via a microscope objective and light collection through a small aperture. This approach allows for decreasing the number of detected molecules by 3 orders of magnitude compared to state-of-the-art SPR sensors. A protein monolayer has been shown to produce a response of 5000 times the baseline noise, suggesting that as few as ～500 proteins could be detected by the sensor.     

Effect of magnetic field on the thermal nonlinearity of surface waves in plasma-metal structures

A study is made into the effect of the nonlinear mechanism of plasma electron heating on the dispersion properties of potential surface waves propagating along the interface between a metal and finite-pressure magnetoactive plasma. An external steady magnetic field is directed normally to the interface. Different mechanisms of electron energy loss are treated in a weak heating approximation. The energy balance equation is used to determine the spatial distribution of the plasma electron temperature under conditions of nonlocal heating. The effect of the plasma parameters on the nonlinear shift of the wavenumber and on the spatial damping factor of surface waves is investigated. The results obtained are valid for both semiconductor and gaseous plasmas.     

Recent advances in the amplification of surface elastic waves in layered structures

The emergence of surface elastic waves as an important area of applied research has been largely the result of the successful application of well known principles of physical acoustics rather than the discovery of new phenomena. A number of factors have contributed to the rapid growth of interest in this field, among which may be noted the recent demonstration of terminal gain in an acoustoelectric surface wave amplifier at 100 MHz, the considerable reduction of two port insertion losses, and the recognition that planar acoustic systems offer significant advantages in sophistica- ted signal processing devices such as transversal filters. Most laboratories currently engaged in surface wave work had already developed the necessary facilities and skills during a period devoted to exploring the potential of bulk elastic waves. The single crystal materials of most interest for surface waves, generally low acoustic loss strongly piezoelectric insulators, are also those that have formed the basis for much of the bulk wave work. In certain respects, then, the renais- sance for surface waves came at a most propitious time, being able to take advantage of the experi- ence gained from several years of bulk wave activity. In retrospect, it may be surprising that bulk waves were favored first or that the interest in surface waves developed so slowly after efficient transduction with the interdigital comb structure was first demonstrated. It is generally agreed that much of the experimental research being carried out at the present time would have been possible, in principle, at any time within the last decade. This applies, for example, in all of the experiments involving bulk materials where a demonstration of feasibility rather than a reduction to useful prac- tice was the principal objective.     

Dispersion of magnetostatic surface waves in ferrite-htsc structures near the phase transition

We present a detailed study of the dispersion properties of surface magnetostatic waves in layered structures of ferrite and high temperature superconductor (HTSC) layers. We solve the propagation problem for the surface magnetostatic waves under a quasistatic approximation, and obtain the dispersion relation. We present an analysis of this dispersion near the phase transition temperature in the HTSC layer. The calculations show that when the HTSC material transforms to the superconducting state the dispersion properties of the magnetostatic waves changes suddenly: the damping decreases by 4–10 dB and the phase velocity increases by a factor of 2–4. These results support experiments which have been performed, in which surface magnetostatic waves have been studied in a YIG film with gallium impurities and a YBaCuO film on a lithium niobate substrate.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 3, pp. 50–55, March, 1995.     

Frequency separation of surface acoustic waves in layered structures with acoustic metamaterials

We show theoretically that in elastic layered structures containing an upper layer of smoothly varied thickness and a substrate of a highly dispersive metametarial it is possible to significantly enhance spatial frequency separation of surface acoustic waves. Theory of Love surface acoustic waves propagation in waveguides with varied thickness, taking into account mutual modes coupling, is built. Appropriate structure of metamatererial with resonant frequency dependence of material parameters, making frequency separation effective, is provided. Efficiency of spatial frequency separation and modes coupling is calculated for various metamaterial parameters and wave frequencies.     

Interaction of surface acoustic waves with moving vortex structures in superconducting films

A method is proposed for describing a moving film vortex structure and its interaction with surface acoustic waves. It is shown that the moving vortex structure can amplify (generate) surface acoustic waves. In contrast to a similar effect in semiconductor films, this effect can appear when the velocity of the vortex structure is much lower than the velocity of the surface acoustic waves. A unidirectional collective mode is shown to exist in the moving vortex structure. This mode gives rise to an acoustic analogue of the diode effect that is resonant in the velocity of the vortex structure. This acoustic effect is manifested as an anomalous attenuation of the surface acoustic waves in the direction of the vortex-structure motion and as the absence of this attenuation for the propagation in the opposite direction.

Dispersion characteristics of spin waves in planar periodic structures based on ferromagnetic films

A technique for calculating the dispersion characteristics of planar periodic magnetic structures is suggested. It is based on joint application of the spin-wave mode analytical approach and the transfer matrix formalism. The dispersion characteristics of a planar periodic waveguiding medium representing a thin ferromagnetic film with an array of metallic strips (metallic grating) on its surface are calculated. It is shown that the dispersion characteristics of planar periodic structures based on ferromagnetic films depend, not only on the geometry of the waveguiding system, but also on the surface anisotropy of the initial film.     

Photonic crystal sensor based on surface waves for thin-film characterization

A new sensor based on optical surface waves in truncated one-dimensional photonic crystals is proposed for use in determining the optical properties of metallic or dielectric thin films and bulk media. Specifically, the method of optical characterization takes into account the changes that the surface waves of a layered structure undergo when either a thin film of arbitrary material is added at the surface or the optical properties of transmission medium change. For the surface-wave excitation the Kretschmann configuration used in attenuated total reflectance is employed.
