Tian L, Zhao H, Shen Q, Chang H. A toroidal SAW gyroscope with focused IDTs for sensitivity enhancement. MICROSYSTEMS & NANOENGINEERING 2024; 10:37. [PMID: 38495470 PMCID: PMC10940610 DOI: 10.1038/s41378-024-00658-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2024]
Abstract
A surface acoustic wave (SAW) gyroscope measures the rate of rotational angular velocity by exploiting a phenomenon known as the SAW gyroscope effect. Such a gyroscope is a great candidate for application in harsh environments because of the simplification of the suspension vibration mechanism necessary for traditional microelectromechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes. Here, for the first time, we propose a novel toroidal standing-wave-mode SAW gyroscope using focused interdigitated transducers (FIDTs). Unlike traditional SAW gyroscopes that use linear IDTs to generate surface acoustic waves, which cause beam deflection and result in energy dissipation, this study uses FIDTs to concentrate the SAW energy based on structural features, resulting in better focusing performance and increased SAW amplitude. The experimental results reveal that the sensitivity of the structure is 1.51 µV/(°/s), and the bias instability is 0.77°/s, which are improved by an order of magnitude compared to those of a traditional SAW gyroscope. Thus, the FIDT component can enhance the performance of the SAW gyroscope, demonstrating its superiority for angular velocity measurements. This work provides new insights into improving the sensitivity and performance of SAW gyroscopes.

Imaging phonon eigenstates and elucidating the energy storage characteristics of a honeycomb-lattice phononic crystal cavity. PHOTOACOUSTICS 2023; 31:100481. [PMID: 37214426 PMCID: PMC10192931 DOI: 10.1016/j.pacs.2023.100481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2023] [Revised: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
We extend gigahertz time-domain imaging to a wideband investigation of the eigenstates of a phononic crystal cavity. Using omnidirectionally excited phonon wave vectors, we implement an ultrafast technique to experimentally probe the two-dimensional acoustic field inside and outside a hexagonal cavity in a honeycomb-lattice phononic crystal formed in a microscopic crystalline silicon slab, thereby revealing the confinement and mode volumes of phonon eigenstates-some of which are clearly hexapole in character-lying both inside and outside the phononic-crystal band gap. This allows us to obtain a quantitative measure of the spatial acoustic energy storage characteristics of a phononic crystal cavity. We also introduce a numerical approach involving toneburst excitation and the monitoring of the acoustic energy decay together with the integral of the Poynting vector to calculate the Q factor of the principal in-gap eigenmode, showing it to be limited by ultrasonic attenuation rather than by phonon leakage to the surrounding region.
