The damping effect in the nanoscale mechanical beam resonators operated under ambient conditions was studied. Experimental measurement of the viscous air damping in the nanowire cantilever resonators was carried out using the electric-field-induced resonance method; and a theoretical model, which accounts for the effects of dimension and material property of the nanowires and the air viscosity ...

This paper presents the results of an investigation into a combination of electric and magnetic planar resonators in order to design the building element of a volumetric metamaterial showing simultaneously negative electric and magnetic polarizabilities under irradiation by an electromagnetic wave. Two combinations of particular planar resonators are taken into consideration. These planar reson...

This study presents a novel approach for realizing miniaturized multi layer folded tri band micro-strip band pass filter for Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Worldwide interoperatability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) applications. The proposed filter consists of a pair of folded hairpin stepped impedance resonators and pair of open loop resonators to achieve tri-band performance. The size ...

Optical resonators play an ubiquitous role in modern optics. A particular class of optical resonators is constituted by spherical dielectric structures, where optical rays are total internal reflected. Due to minimal reflection losses and to potentially very low material absorption, these guided modes, known as whispering gallery modes, can confer the resonator an exceptionally high quality fac...

Based on effective medium theory and dielectric resonator theory, we propose the design of reconfigurable all-dielectric metamaterial frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) using high-permittivity ceramics. The FSS is composed of ceramic resonators with different band stop responses under front and side incidences. By mechanically tuning the orientation of the ceramic resonators, reconfigurable el...

In this paper, the possibility of using a silicon waveguide based microring resonator as a nonlinear all-optical switch is described under low power operation through a two-photon absorption effect. All-optical multiplexer/demultiplexer scheme based on two cascaded microring resonators has been proposed and described. The proposed circuits require smaller number of ring resonators and a single ...

In circuit quantum electrodynamics quantum information processing is done by coupling the qubit state to a single photon bound to a superconducting resonator [1]. The lifetime of a single photon with frequency f is defined by: τ = Q/2πf [2], therefore a high resonator quality factor (Q) is needed to maximize the lifetime. Presently used resonators, made from Nb or Al, have quality factors on th...

There has been much interest in developing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) resonators that achieve comparable performance to traditional resonators yet have smaller footprint and are compatible with CMOS. Recently, MEMS resonators have been proposed that overcome physical limitations in traditional resonators to reach frequencies in the GHz range and that have the potential for compatibil...

Miniaturization of waveguide circuits is inherently connected with the implementation of highly confined waveguides as one prerequisite for the building of sharp bends and optical microring circuits. Integrated optical ring resonators are promising candidates for compact optical filters and wavelength (de)multiplexers. Their realization in active semiconductor material opens the potential to ve...

With Q’s in the tens to hundreds of thousands, micromachined vibrating resonators are proposed as IC-compatible tanks for use in the highly selective filters of communications subsystems. To date, bandpass filters consisting of spring-coupled micromechanical resonators have been demonstrated in a frequency range from HF to VHF. In particular, two-resonator micromechanical bandpass filters have ...
