文摘The enhancement of the microcavity quality factor contributes to fundamental linewidth reduction in microcavity lasers.This study demonstrates silica microrod resonators with quality factors approaching 10^(9),fabricated by CO_(2)laser reflow technology.To improve practical applicability,low-loss package techniques were developed,yielding packaged resonators with optimized optical performance.Using this platform,stimulated Raman lasing was achieved with a pump mode Q-factor of 1.333×10^(9),exhibiting a threshold of 0.765 mW.The laser output stability was characterized by a standard deviation of 0.671 mV over 45 minutes of operation,with corresponding Allan deviation analysis.At the maximum output power of 106.4μW,the measured frequency noise spectral density reached 0.46 Hz~2/Hz,corresponding to a linewidth of 2.89 Hz.Thermal tuning of the packaged module achieved a wavelength shift of 0.206 nm,with a temperature sensitivity of 8.92 pm/℃.This work establishes a new technical pathway for developing compact narrow-linewidth lasers,showing significant potential for medical diagnostics,optical communications,and defense applications.
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This article investigates the second overtone thickness-extensional(TE2)vibrations and associated mode-coupling behaviors in ZnO piezoelectric film bulk acoustic resonator(FBAR),utilizing its wave dispersion relation and the higher-order stress balance principle.By superimposing the general wave solutions of multiple eigenmodes within the frequency range of the TE2 mode,mode-coupling solutions for ZnO FBAR are constructed.The substitution of these mode-coupling solutions into the higher-order stress balance principle,as laterally weak boundary conditions,leads to the frequency spectrogram equation,determining the relationship between resonance frequency and plate length-to-thickness ratio.A modified algorithm that combines the bisection method and the complex modulus ratio method is developed to solve the dispersion equation and frequency spectrogram equation(namely a kind of 2D complex transcendental equations)accurately and efficiently.The obtained results indicate that the operational TE2 mode may couple to unwanted 3^(rd)thickness-shear,fundamental thickness-shear,and flexural modes.Moreover,the mode-coupling behaviors depend strongly on resonance frequencies and plate length-to-thickness ratio.The displacement distributions of total displacement components,alongside the main displacement com-ponents of all considered eigenmodes,clearly demonstrate the variety of coupling behaviors.According to the obtained frequency spectrograms,the desirable values of plate length-to-thickness ratio for a clean operating mode with very weak coupling intensity are determined.These findings are of vital importance for the understanding of the mode-coupling me-chanism in overtone thickness-extensional FBARs,which will facilitate the structural design and optimization of FBAR devices.

文摘Enhancing the vibration resistance of micro-electro-mechanical systems(MEMS)resonators in complex environments is a critical issue that urgently needs to be addressed.This paper presents a chip-scale locally resonant phononic crystal(LRPnC)plate based on a folded helical beam structure.Through finite element simulation and theoretical analysis,the bandgap characteristics and vibration suppression mechanisms of this structure were thoroughly investigated.The results show that the structure exhibits a complete bandgap in the frequency range of 9.867-14.605 kHz,and the bandgap can be effectively tuned by adjusting the structural parameters.Based on this,the influence of the number of unit cell layers on the vibration reduction performance was further studied,and a finite periodic LRPnC plate was constructed.Numerical studies have shown that the LRPnC plate can achieve more than-30 dB of vibration attenuation within the bandgap and effectively suppress y-direction coupling vibrations caused by x-direction propagating waves.In addition,its chip-scale size and planar structure design provide new ideas and methods for the engineering application of phononic crystal technology in the field of MEMS vibration isolation.

文摘Accurate detection of dimethyl methylphosphonate(DMMP),a simulant for chemical warfare agents,is vital for both public safety and military defense.However,conventional detection methods suffer from low selectivity,owing to interference from structurally similar compounds.In this study,we present a highly sensitive and selective gas sensor utilizing a solid-mounted film bulk acoustic resonator based on carbon nanotubes functionalized with hexafluoroisopropanol(HFiP)to enhance DMMP detection.This approach leverages the strong hydrogen bonding between HFiP and DMMP molecules to significantly improve the sensor’s adsorption capacity and selectivity.To further refine selectivity and at the same time solve the cross-sensitivity problem of sensitive membranes,we introduce a virtual sensor array design,generated by modulating the input power to the resonator,which enables the sensor to operate in multiple response modes across varying vibrational amplitudes.These multimodal responses are subjected to linear discriminant analysis,allowing precise differentiation of DMMP from other volatile organic compounds such as tributyl phosphate and dimethyl phthalate.Our results demonstrate superior performance in terms of both sensitivity and selectivity,offering a robust solution for detecting low-concentration DMMP in complex environments.

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.
