A Wide-Frequency-Tuning Micro-Loop-Gap Resonator for Miniature Rubidium Vapor-Cell Atomic Frequency Standards

To miniaturize the double-resonance (DR) rubidium (Rb) vapor-cell atomic clocks, a new type of micro-loop-gap microwave resonator (mu-LGR) is proposed for TE011-like mode where the magnetic field inside the cavity is homogeneous and oriented along its long ...

Integrated photon-pair source with monolithic piezoelectric frequency tunability

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Anat Siddharth, Arslan Sajid Raja

This work demonstrates the capabilities of an entangled photon-pair source at telecom wavelengths, based on a photonic integrated Si3N4 microresonator with monolithically integrated piezoelectric frequency tuning. Previously, frequency tuning of photon pai ...

Shaking force balancing of a 2-DOF isotropic horological oscillator

Simon Nessim Henein, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

Despite centuries of research and significant advances, the escapement mechanism used to count and maintain oscillations of mechanical time bases remains a complex mechanism and a major source of energy losses. We showed in previous work that, instead of t ...

Basic design considerations for a frequency step-tunable electron cyclotron wave system to suppress NTMs in DEMO

Minh Quang Tran, Emiliano Fable, Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli, Konstantinos Avramidis, Giovanni Tardini

An Electron Cyclotron Wave (ECW) system will be used in the European DEMO for the stabilization of Neoclassical Tearing Modes (NTMs). In order to avoid movable mirrors in the harsh environment close to the plasma and to simplify the NTM launcher integratio ...

Long-term evolution of Landau damping in the presence of transverse noise, feedback, and detuning

Xavier Buffat, Sondre Vik Furuseth

The effect of Landau damping is often calculated assuming a Gaussian beam distribution in all transverse degrees of freedom, which agrees reasonably well with beam measurements. However, the stability of the beam is strongly dependent on the details of the ...

Thermo-optic tuning of spectral broadening in a nonlinear Ultra-Silicon-Rich Nitride grating

Jae-Woo Choi

Temperature tuning of spectral broadening induced by a nonlinear grating is experimentally demonstrated. The bandwidth is observed to decrease as temperature increases, corresponding to a red-shift in the high dispersion region of the Bragg grating. ...

Flexure Pivot Oscillators for Mechanical Watches

Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann

It appears that the concerted efforts of the watchmaking industry are leading towards a limit in mechanical watch accuracy. The general consensus in horology is that the time base's quality factor, a dimensionless number that characterizes the oscillator d ...

Synthesis of solvent-free processable and on-demand cross-linkable dielectric elastomers for actuators

Frank Nüesch

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have gained growing interest during the last decade from both the scientific community and industry. However, the high operating voltages needed to drive these actuators reduce their application potential. To date, sev ...

Eigenmode Analysis in Plasmonics: Application to Second Harmonic Generation and Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy

Gabriel David Bernasconi

Eigenmodes are central to the study of resonant phenomena in all areas of physics. However, their use in nano-optics seems to have been hindered and delayed for various reasons. First, due to their small size, the response of nanostructures to a far-field ...
