Standing Waves in a Cavity01:28

Standing Waves in a Cavity

1.6K
A household microwave and lasers are examples of standing electromagnetic waves in a cavity. When two conducting metal plates are placed parallel at the nodal planes, it creates a cavity where standing waves are formed. The cavity between the two planes is analogous to a stretched string held at the points x = 0 and x = L. Here, the distance 'L' between the two planes must be an integer multiple of half of the wavelength. The wavelengths that satisfy this condition are given by:

Forced Oscillations

8.2K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Sound Waves: Resonance01:14

Sound Waves: Resonance

3.7K
Resonance is produced depending on the boundary conditions imposed on a wave. Resonance can be produced in a string under tension with symmetrical boundary conditions (i.e., has a node at each end). A node is defined as a fixed point where the string does not move. The symmetrical boundary conditions result in some frequencies resonating and producing standing waves, while other frequencies interfere destructively. Sound waves can resonate in a hollow tube, and the frequencies of the sound...

Area of Science:

  • Opto-mechanics
  • Photonics
  • Solid-state physics

Background:

  • Opto-mechanical systems couple light and mechanical motion.
  • Phonon lasing, analogous to optical lasing, involves coherent phonon generation.
  • Achieving phonon lasing typically requires high cooperativity and specific operating regimes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel injection scheme for achieving phonon lasing.
  • To demonstrate phonon lasing in a one-dimensional opto-mechanical photonic crystal.
  • To explore the system's potential for sensing and metrology applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a continuous-wave infrared laser source for energy extraction.
  • Implementing a thermo-optical/free-carrier-dispersion self-pulsing limit-cycle.
  • Employing feedback from coherent mechanical motion to stabilize self-pulsing oscillations.

Main Results:

  • Achieved "phonon lasing" in a sideband unresolved regime with low cooperativity (10^-2).
  • Observed frequency entrainment of self-pulsing to mechanical modes (54 and 122 MHz).
  • Demonstrated operation on a silicon platform at ambient temperature and pressure.

Conclusions:

  • The novel injection scheme enables efficient phonon lasing under accessible conditions.
  • The system's tunable self-pulsing and frequency stabilization are key features.
  • The silicon-based platform is suitable for practical applications in sensing, metrology, and time-keeping.
