The flexible FBAR was fabricated with an air cavity in the polymer substrate, which endowed the resonator with efficient acoustic reflection and high electrical performance. The acoustic wave propagation and reflection in FBAR were first analyzed by Mason model, and then flexible FBARs of 2.66 GHz series resonance in different configurations were fabricated. To validate efficient acoustic reflection of flexible resonators, FBARs were transferred onto different polymer substrates without air cavities. Experimental results indicate that efficient acoustic reflection can be efficiently predicted by Mason model. Flexible FBARs with air cavities exhibit a higher figure of merit(FOM). Our demonstration provides a feasible solution to flexible MEMS devices with highly efficient acoustic reflection(i.e. energy preserving) and free-moving cavities, achieving both high flexibility and high electrical performance.展开更多

In this study, an open-loop R-FOG is set up using phase modulation spectroscopy. First,the demodulation curve is obtained using a lock-in amplifier. From the demodulation signal,a gyro dynamic range of ± 4.2rad/s is obtained. Then,using different phase modulation frequencies,the open-loop gyro output signal is measured when the gyro is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise. The bias drift as a function of time is also measured. The fluctuation of the output over 5s is about 0.02rad/s. The drift can be reduced by taking countermeasures against system noise.展开更多

The parameters of the resonators are designed so that the filtered signal from a broadband light source can be tuned with an absorption spectral line of gas. Therefore, through adding microring resonators horizontally and vertically, the number of target gases and filter range are increased. In this research, in the broad spectral range of about 0.9 μm, only the absorption spectral lines of target gases are filtered. The simulation results show that three target gases, CH_4, CO_2 and HF, can be simultaneously detected by the sensing system. Owing to the fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy, the whole system is optimized in mini-size and sensitivity, and we can choose different sensing methods to enhance the measurement accuracy for high and low concentration conditions.展开更多

文摘As an ultrathin wide-bandgap(WBG)material,CaNb_(2)O_(6)exhibits excellent optical and electrical properties.Particularly,its highly asymmetric crystal structure provides new opportunities for designing novel nanodevices with directional functionality.However,due to the significant challenges in applying conventional techniques to nanoscale samples,the in-plane anisotropy of CaNb_(2)O_(6)has still remained unexplored.Here,we leverage the resonant nanoelectromechanical systems(NEMS)platform to successfully quantify both the mechanical and thermal anisotropies in such an ultrathin WBG crystal.Specifically,by measuring the dynamic response in both spectral and spatial domains,we determine the anisotropic Young’s modulus of CaNb_(2)O_(6)as E_(Y(a))=70.42 GPa and EY(b)=116.2 GPa.By further expanding this technique to cryogenic temperatures,we unveil the anisotropy in thermal expansion coefficients as α_((a))=13.4 ppm·K^(-1),α(b)=2.9 ppm·K^(-1).Interestingly,through thermal strain engineering,we successfully modulate the mode sequence and achieve a crossing of(1×2)-(2×1)modes with perfect degeneracy.Our study provides guidelines for future CaNb_(2)O_(6)nanodevices with additional degrees of freedom and new device functions.

文摘Two-dimensional phononic crystal(PnC)slabs have shown advantages in enhancing the quality factors Q of piezoelectric laterally vibrating resonators(LVRs)through topology optimization.However,the narrow geometries of most topology-optimized silicon–air 2D PnC slabs face significant fabrication challenges owing to restricted etching precision,and the anisotropic nature of silicon is frequently overlooked.To address these issues,this study employs the finite element method with appropriate discretization numbers and the genetic algorithm to optimize the structures and geometries of 2D silicon–air PnC slabs.The optimized square-lattice PnC slabs,featuring a rounded-cross structure oriented along the`110e directions of silicon,achieve an impressive relative bandgap(RBG)width of 82.2%for in-plane modes.When further tilted by 15° from the (100) directions within the(001)plane,the optimal RBG width is expanded to 91.4%.We fabricate and characterize thin-film piezoelectric-on-silicon LVRs,with or without optimized 2D PnC slabs.The presence of PnC slabs around anchors increases the series and parallel quality factors Q_(s) and Q_(p) from 2240 to 7118 and from 2237 to 7501,respectively,with the PnC slabs oriented along the`110e directions of silicon.

文摘Microring resonators(MRRs)are extensively utilized in photonic chips for generating quantum light sources and enabling high-efficiency nonlinear frequency conversion.However,conventional microrings are typically optimized for a single specific function,limiting their versatility in multifunctional applications.In this work,we propose a reconfigurable microring resonator architecture designed to accommodate diverse application requirements.By integrating a cascaded Mach–Zehnder interferometer(MZI)as the microring coupler,the design enables independent control of the quality factors for pump,signal and idler photons through two tunable phase shifters.This capability allows for dynamic tuning and optimization of critical performance parameters,including photon-pair generation rate(PGR),spectral purity and single photon heralding efficiency(HE).The proposed structure is implemented on a silicon photonic chip,and experimental results exhibit a wide range of tunability for these parameters,with excellent agreement with theoretical predictions.This flexible and multi-functional design offers a promising pathway for high-performance,highly integrated on-chip quantum information processing systems.
文摘Aging,as an inherent stage of life processes,has always been a core research focus in life sciences.Current studies confirm that the accumulation of intracellular molecular damage is a key driver of aging.As protective structures at chromosome ends,telomeres exhibit direct correlations between their length and stability and cellular aging processes,disease risks,and lifespan.This article systematically reviews the structural functions of telomeres and their relationship with aging,with particular emphasis on telomere rejuvenation strategies based on electromagnetic radiation techniques.Key experimental approaches include Gavich's mitotic radiation,Composite Wave Resonator(CWRT),and modern telomere length intervention trials.By synthesizing the latest domestic and international research findings,this paper analyzes the feasibility and limitations of these technologies while exploring their potential applications in anti-aging research,providing theoretical references for future studies.

文摘The topic of improving the mechanical stability of external cavity diode lasers(ECDLs)has recently attracted widespread attention and interest.The use of corner-cube-array(CCA)-based resonators provides a potential solution for this purpose,although continuous oscillation at super large incident angle remains challenging.In this work,we employ the CCA resonator to generate continuous oscillation within±20°angular misalignment of cavity mirror in experiment.On the basis of retroreflection theory,the retroreflectivity of a CCA is analyzed by using optical simulation software.Notably,the experiment verifies the advantage of using a CCA over a plane mirror in laser resonator,thereby providing a promising approach for ECDLs.The threshold characteristic curves measured at different incident angles in the experiment verify that the CCA possesses an obvious anti-angle misalignment performance.This research introduces an alternative solution of using CCA resonator instead of parallel plane cavity,thereby realizing an adjustment-free ECDL with enhanced mechanical stability.

文摘This paper investigates the issues on acoustic energy reflection of flexible film bulk acoustic resonators(FBARs). The flexible FBAR was fabricated with an air cavity in the polymer substrate, which endowed the resonator with efficient acoustic reflection and high electrical performance. The acoustic wave propagation and reflection in FBAR were first analyzed by Mason model, and then flexible FBARs of 2.66 GHz series resonance in different configurations were fabricated. To validate efficient acoustic reflection of flexible resonators, FBARs were transferred onto different polymer substrates without air cavities. Experimental results indicate that efficient acoustic reflection can be efficiently predicted by Mason model. Flexible FBARs with air cavities exhibit a higher figure of merit(FOM). Our demonstration provides a feasible solution to flexible MEMS devices with highly efficient acoustic reflection(i.e. energy preserving) and free-moving cavities, achieving both high flexibility and high electrical performance.
文摘The resonator fiber optic gyro （R-FOG） ,which utilizes a resonance frequency change due to the Sagnac effect,is a promising candidate for the next generation inertial rotation sensor. In this study, an open-loop R-FOG is set up using phase modulation spectroscopy. First,the demodulation curve is obtained using a lock-in amplifier. From the demodulation signal,a gyro dynamic range of ± 4.2rad/s is obtained. Then,using different phase modulation frequencies,the open-loop gyro output signal is measured when the gyro is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise. The bias drift as a function of time is also measured. The fluctuation of the output over 5s is about 0.02rad/s. The drift can be reduced by taking countermeasures against system noise.

文摘A high-sensitivity sensor for multiple gases based on microring array filter and fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy system is proposed and demonstrated. The parameters of the resonators are designed so that the filtered signal from a broadband light source can be tuned with an absorption spectral line of gas. Therefore, through adding microring resonators horizontally and vertically, the number of target gases and filter range are increased. In this research, in the broad spectral range of about 0.9 μm, only the absorption spectral lines of target gases are filtered. The simulation results show that three target gases, CH_4, CO_2 and HF, can be simultaneously detected by the sensing system. Owing to the fiber loop ring-down spectroscopy, the whole system is optimized in mini-size and sensitivity, and we can choose different sensing methods to enhance the measurement accuracy for high and low concentration conditions.

文摘The coupled resonator-induced transparency (CRIT) phenomenon, which is analogous to electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic systems, can occur in an original integrated optical resonator system due to the coherent interference of the coupled optical resonators. The system was composed of three ring resonators on silicon, each with the same cavity size, and the optical coupling to the input and output ports was achieved using grating with a power coupling efficiency of 36%. A CRIT resonance whose spectrum shows a narrow transparency peak with a low group velocity was demonstrated. The quality factor of the ring resonator can attain a value up to 6x 104, and the harmonic wavelength can be controlled by adjusting the temperature. The through and drop transmission spectra of the resonator are reconciled well with each other and also consistent well with the theoretical analysis.
文摘A full planar tunable band pass resonator is introduced, which is constructed by using novel symmetric step impedance resonator （SIR） and hyperabrupt varactors for wide bandwidth tuning and size reduction. The equivalent circuit model of the proposed resonator is set up. Theoretical analysis based on transmission line as well as odd and even-mode method is completed. The attractiveness of the approach presented lies in its simplicity. Based on the detailed analysis, a 6 GHz to 10 GHz varactor tuned resonator is designed, fabricated, and measured. It shows wideband tuning ability of 37%. The experimental results of the resonator have a good agreement with the analysis results.
