RF oscillator circuit for absorption coefficient measurement of piezoelectric materials
Applied Optics
|September 14, 2023
Abstract:
We have introduced an approach for low optical absorption coefficient measurement of piezoelectric materials based on the piezoelectric resonance laser calorimetry (PRLC) method. An RF oscillator circuit provides a convenient way to track the piezoelectric resonance frequency during laser irradiation. In this work, the optical absorption coefficient of lithium triborate crystal under high-power IR laser irradiation was measured using the oscillator circuit and the conventional PRLC technique.

An atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) comprises several components: a radiation source, an atomizer, a monochromator, and a detector. The radiation source can be a hollow-cathode lamp (HCL) or an electrodeless-discharge lamp (EDL), both of which provide a narrow emission line of the required wavelength. However, some instruments use continuum sources and high-resolution monochromators to achieve a narrow range of radiation.

Design Example: Underdamped Parallel RLC Circuit
328
Consider designing an oscillator circuit, a crucial component in various electronic devices and systems. The objective is to create an oscillator circuit with specific characteristics: a damped natural frequency of 4 kHz and a damping factor of 4 radians per second. To accomplish this, a parallel RLC circuit is employed, known for its ability to sustain oscillations at a resonant frequency. In this case, the damping factor is pivotal in achieving the desired performance.
