Using our microwave-frequency electrically-modulated phononic-crystal resonators on lithium niobate, we demonstrate atomic-like transitions between two phononic modes, including Autler–Townes splitting, alternating current Stark shift, and Rabi oscillations with a maximum cooperativity of 4.18.
We analytically derive and experimentally verified the injection-locking range and phase-noise suppression ratio of an oscillation loop with saturable gain, establishing a general and straightforward approach for analyzing injection locking dynamics.
Leveraging strong second-order nonlinearities of lithium niobate, we demonstrate synthetic-domain neural networks with both efficient linear and nonlinear operations. A high accuracy of 98.2% is experimentally achieved for a four-class classification task.
We measure 1 gigahertz surface vibrations with spectral interferometry on a 76 kilohertz linescan camera. The vibrometer has a noise floor of 120 fm/sqrt(Hz) and images a 110 x 210 micron device in 10 minutes.
We demonstrate a mid-infrared detector using a phononic crystal resonator fabricated on 128° Y-cut bulk lithium niobate substrate, featuring an absorbed noise equivalent power of 30 pW√ Hz and a response time constant of 0.3 ms.
