    摘要: A shear transverse wave device having transitions in the relaxation or tightening of wave trapping. Two embodiments are preferably utilized simultaneously. A first embodiment involves wave trapping fingers disposed within a propagation region between a transmitting and a receiving interdigital transducer. The wave trapping fingers provide a high width-to-spacing ratio of fingers proximate to the transducers and provide a lower ratio with approach to a center of the propagation region. The relaxed trapping reduces the adverse effects caused by surface perturbations, while the tight trapping at the transducers provides an efficient coupling of power to and from the device. The second embodiment is likewise concerned with decoupling of power. Absorptive film is placed at the opposed edges of the device to suppress spurious reflections from the edges. A grating of fingers between each transducer and the associated edge is designed to provide a tightening of trapping with departure from the transducers, thereby allowing a more efficient absorption by the absorptive film, which is deposited on the fingers closest to the opposed edges. Again, the width-to-spacing ratio is varied to achieve the increase in wave trapping.

    摘要: An optical structure is formed on a surface of the optically resonant system to modify a characteristic of the emitted resonant signal. The optical structure may be configured to impart a phase-shift on a portion of the resonant signal. Because the resonant signal consists of a single resonant mode with an axially symmetric radiation pattern, a phase-shift can be used to, for example, collimate, disperse, direct, and generally shape output characteristics of the emitted resonant signal. The optical structure can also be used to tune the quality factor (Q) of the optically resonant system.

    摘要: A sensor suitable for use as a viscosity sensor, a chemically selective sensor, or a chemically specific sensor. The sensor is a surface transverse wave (STW) or Love Wave device that, for solute concentration measurements, includes a chemically reactive layer selected to react with the solute to be measured. The surface trapping structure in this device can include dielectric material either as a protective coating or as the core material of the surface trapping structure. The substrate material and cut are selected so that only shear horizontal acoustic waves are produced. Nonpiezoelectric portions of this device can be utilized in the region in which chemicals react the sensor and/or in the region in which energy is converted between electrical and acoustical forms.
