Abstract
We tuned the oscillating frequency of a nonplanar ring oscillator by 3.5 GHz by applying strain to the monolithic resonator using a piezoelectric element. The voltage applied to the piezoelectric element was 192 volts, corresponding to a tuning coefficient of 18.2 MHz/volt. Useful bandwidth was limited by a resonance at 323 kHz and an anti-resonance at 420 kHz. Performance improvement relative to previous work was achieved primarily by using a resonator design with a small distance between the piezoelectric element and the resonant laser beam, but also by using a piezoelectric material with favorable properties and reducing the thickness of the resonator. A theoretical analysis of strain tuning supported the design.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics is dedicated to the publication of manuscripts reporting novel experimental or theoretical results in the broad field of the science and technology of quantum electronics. The Journal comprises original contributions, both regular papers and letters, describing significant advances in the understanding of quantum electronics phenomena or the demonstration of new devices, systems, or applications. Manuscripts reporting new developments in systems and applications must emphasize quantum electronics principles or devices. The scope of JQE encompasses the generation, propagation, detection, and application of coherent electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths below one millimeter (i.e., in the submillimeter, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc., regions). Whether the focus of a manuscript is a quantum-electronic device or phenomenon, the critical factor in the editorial review of a manuscript is the potential impact of the results presented on continuing research in the field or on advancing the technological base of quantum electronics.
