Active Microelectromechanical Resonator

Daniel Grogg

The progress in the technology of microelectronic devices has led to a strong miniaturization and high performance for circuits and systems, enabling modern applications such as mobile computing and communications. Today, remaining "off-chip" components th ...

Theoretical Analysis of Mechanical Displacement Measurement Using a Multiple Cavity Mode Transducer

Tobias Kippenberg, Jens Dobrindt

We present an optomechanical displacement transducer that relies on three cavity modes parametrically coupled to a mechanical oscillator and whose frequency spacing matches the mechanical resonance frequency. The additional resonances allow reaching the st ...

Rapid Prototyping of Microfluidic Devices

Meng Shen

With the growing importance of miniaturized energy applications and the development of micro Total Analysis Systems (μTAS), we have realized microfluidic devices, namely, magnetic micropumps, microfluidic fuel cells and membrane-based protein preconcentrat ...

Effect of mechanical loading on the tuning of acoustic resonances in Ba (x) Sr1-x TiO3 thin films

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev

The effect of mechanical loading on the tuning performance of a tunable Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator (TFBAR) based on a Ba0.3Sr0.7TiO3 (BST) thin film has been investigated experimentally and theoretically. A membrane-type TFBAR was fabricated by ...

Adaptive Frequency Oscillators and Applications

Auke Ijspeert, Jonas Buchli, Ludovic Righetti

In this contribution we present a generic mechanism to transform an oscillator into an adaptive frequency oscillator, which can then dynamically adapt its parameters to learn the frequency of any periodic driving signal. Adaptation is done in a dynamic way ...

Nanogap MEM resonators on SOI

Nicoleta-Diana Ciressan

Today's consumer electronics based on a large variety of time-keeping and frequency reference applications is based on quartz-crystal oscillators, because of their excellent performances in terms of quality factor, thermal and frequency stability. However, ...

Noise induced temporal patterns in populations of globally coupled oscillators

Max-Olivier Hongler, Roger Filliger, Philippe Blanchard, Julio Rodriguez

The population dynamics of an assembly of globally coupled homogeneous phase oscillators is studied in presence of non-Gaussian fluctuations. The variance of the underlying stochastic process grows as t + \beta^2 t^2 ( \beta being a constant) and therefore ...

Bulk-source-coupled CMOS Quadrature Oscillators

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Uroschanit Yodprasit, Paul Saad

A quadrature oscillator based on a coupling between the bulk and the source of MOS transistors is proposed. Since the resonator load is not directly involved in the coupling process, the oscillation frequency is very close to the resonant frequency, hence ...

A high-performance compact electromagnetic actuator for a PMMA ball-valve micropump

Martinus Gijs, Christophe Yamahata, Meng Shen

We present the microfabrication and characterization of a reciprocating-type poly(methylmetacrylate) (PMMA) ball-valve micropump which is actuated with a high-performance and compact electromagnetic circuit of centimeter size. We have improved by finite el ...
