Area of Science:

  • Photonics and Optics
  • Materials Science
  • Electrical Engineering

Background:

  • Acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) offer electromagnetic immunity, making them suitable for RF field measurements in sensitive environments like MRI scanners.
  • Existing RF sensors face limitations in electromagnetic compatibility and require robust electromechanical modeling for optimization.
  • Fiber-Bragg Grating (FBG) based sensors integrated with piezoelectric transducers present a promising alternative for non-interfering RF measurements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an electromechanical equivalent circuit model for antenna-coupled, fiber-based AOM sensors.
  • To determine the electromechanical frequency response of these novel AOM-based sensors.
  • To facilitate the design optimization of AOM sensors for various RF measurement applications.

Main Methods:

  • An electromechanical equivalent circuit model was developed for the fiber-transducer composite structure.
  • The transducer model was validated using experimental data from Zinc Oxide (ZnO) and piezocomposite-based AOMs across different frequency ranges.
  • The antenna-coupled model was validated through H-field measurements using an N-turn loop antenna-coupled sensor up to 100 MHz.

Main Results:

  • The developed electromechanical model accurately predicts the frequency response of fiber-based AOM sensors.
  • Experimental validation confirmed the model's efficacy for both transducer and antenna-coupled configurations.
  • FBG measurements proved useful for characterizing high-loss piezoelectric materials, overcoming limitations of electrical characterization.

Conclusions:

  • The validated electromechanical model is crucial for the design and optimization of antenna-coupled, fiber-based AOM sensors.
  • These sensors are ideal for RF field measurements within MRI scanners due to their electromagnetic immunity.
  • The model supports the development of advanced AOM sensors for specialized applications requiring precise RF measurements.
