Single-modulator, direct frequency comb spectroscopy via serrodyne modulation

February 3, 2023
Author(s)
David Long, Sean Bresler, Yiliang Bao, Benjamin Reschovsky, Thomas W. LeBrun, Jason J. Gorman
Traditional electro-optic frequency comb spectrometers rely upon the use of an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) to provide a differential frequency shift between probe and local oscillator (LO) legs of the interferometer. Here we show that these modulators

Anisotropic Acoustodynamics in Gigahertz Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Transducers

May 30, 2022

Jingjie Cheng, Zhaoliang Peng, Penghui Song, Bo Peng, Jason J. Gorman, Justin Kuo, Amit Lal, Wenming Zhang, Lei Shao
In this work, we employed our newly developed optical imaging method to probe detailed acoustodynamic physics in gigahertz (GHz) unreleased ultrasonic transducers based on an AlN-on-silicon system, revealing mode superposition, anisotropic transduction

Intrinsically accurate sensing with an optomechanical accelerometer

Author(s)
Benjamin Reschovsky, David Long, Feng Zhou, Yiliang Bao, Richard A. Allen, Jason J. Gorman, Thomas W. LeBrun
We demonstrate a microfabricated optomechanical accelerometer that is capable of percent-level accuracy without external calibration. To achieve this capability, we use a mechanical model of the device behavior that can be characterized by the thermal

Stroboscopic Ultrafast Imaging Capabilities Using RF Strip-lines in a Commercial Transmission Electron Microscope

May 1, 2022
Author(s)
Spencer Reisbick, Myung-Geun Han, Chuhang Liu, yubin zhao, Eric Montgomery, Vikrant Gokhale, Jason J. Gorman, Chunguang Jing, June W. Lau, Yimei Zhu
The development of ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM), specifically stroboscopic imaging, has brought the study of structural dynamics to a new level by overcoming the spatial limitations of ultrafast spectroscopy and the temporal restrictions of

Amontons-Coulomb-like slip dynamics in acousto-microfluidics

March 22, 2022
Author(s)
Aurore F. Quelennec, Jason J. Gorman, Darwin Reyes-Hernandez
Electroacoustic technologies, which employ acoustic waves to manipulate and detect bioparticles, have been increasingly used, with a great deal of success, in life sciences. Particle manipulation or measurement capabilities of surface acoustic wave-based

Broadband thermomechanically limited sensing with an optomechanical accelerometer

March 9, 2021
Author(s)
Feng Zhou, Yiliang Bao, Ramgopal Madugani, David Long, Jason J. Gorman, Thomas W. LeBrun
Cavity optomechanics has enabled precision measurements with unprecedented levels of sensitivity, including the detection of attonewton forces, nanoparticles, magnetic fields, and gravitational waves. In most cases, detection is performed in a narrow

Electro-optic frequency combs for rapid interrogation in cavity optomechanics

January 29, 2021
Author(s)
David Long, Benjamin J. Reschovsky, Feng Zhou, Yiliang Bao, Thomas W. LeBrun, Jason Gorman
Electro-optic frequency combs were employed to rapidly interrogate an optomechanical sensor, demonstrating spectral resolution substantially exceeding that possible with a mode-locked frequency comb. Frequency combs were generated using an integrated

Existence conditions for phononic frequency combs

November 5, 2020
Author(s)
Zhen Qi, Curtis R. Menyuk, Jason Gorman, Adarsh V. Ganesan
Recently, the mechanical analog of optical frequency combs, phononic frequency combs, have been demonstrated in mechanical resonators and have gained interest since their comb frequencies can be in the range of kilohertz to gigahertz. The physical origin

Aurore F. Quelennec, Jason J. Gorman, Darwin Reyes-Hernandez
We present a label-free SAW-based flow sensor with enhanced precision and repeatability. This sensor improves the signal-to-noise ratio by one order of magnitude (dB scale) at an optimized frequency, and lowers the measurable flow rate to 5 μL/min (from

January 13, 2020
Author(s)
Adarsh V. Ganesan, Ashwin Seshia, Jason J. Gorman
Over the past two decades, MEMS resonators have received considerable attention for physical, chemical and biological sensing applications. Typically, the operation of MEMS resonant sensors relies on the tracking of a resonance frequency using a feedback

Label-free surface acoustic wave-based embedded flow sensor

October 27, 2019

Aurore F. Quelennec, Jason J. Gorman, Darwin Reyes-Hernandez
This paper presents a calibration/label-free flow sensor embedded in a microfluidic system. This sensor is based on surface acoustic waves, where the acoustic intensity is dependent on the flow rate of the propagating medium. The range of flow rates

January 21, 2018
Author(s)
Vikrant J. Gokhale, Jason J. Gorman
This paper reports the first use of dynamic photoelastic imaging for identifying in-plane vibration modes in high-frequency MEMS resonators. In a set of width-extensional mode resonators (WE-BARs), we map fundamental width-extensional modes and unwanted
