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

The ability to measure femtometer scale vibrations at microwave frequencies is important in applications as diverse as ultracoherent resonators for 5G wireless communications, ultrasensitive detectors for mass and force, and acoustic resonators for quantum

A 3-DOF MEMS motion stage for scanning tunneling microscopy

January 1, 2022
Author(s)
Taekyung Kim, Jason J. Gorman
Piezoelectric tube scanners used in most conventional scanning tunneling microscopes (STM) are highly resonant mechanisms that require a low-bandwidth controller ( 1 kHz) to minimize ringing, which prohibitively limits scan speed. In addition, hysteresis
