Abstract

This work demonstrates a monolithic surface acoustic wave amplifier fabricated by state-of-the-art heterogenous integration of a III-V InGaAs-based epitaxial material stack and LiNbO₃. We compare amplification of Raleigh-SAW and leaky-SAW modes on a on Y-cut, X-propagating delay line amplifier. Due to the superior properties of the materials employed, we observe a net terminal gain of 3dB for an LSAW overtone mode This platform enables further advances in active and non-reciprocal piezoelectric acoustic devices.

High-gain leaky surface acoustic wave amplifier in epitaxial InGaAs on lithium niobate heterostructure

Journal Article Hackett, L. ; Siddiqui, A. ; Dominguez, D. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Active surface acoustic wave components have the potential to transform RF front ends by consolidating functionalities that currently occur across multiple chip technologies, leading to reduced insertion loss from converting back and forth between acoustic and electronic domains in addition to improved size and power efficiency. This letter reflects a significant advance in these active devices with a compact, high-gain, and low-power leaky surface acoustic wave amplifier based on the acoustoelectric effect. Devices use an acoustically thin semi-insulating InGaAs surface film on a YX lithium niobate substrate to achieve exceptionally high acoustoelectric interaction strength via an epitaxial In_0.53Ga_0.47As(P)/InP quaternary layermore »« less

Active and Nonreciprocal Radio-Frequency Acoustic Microsystems.

Technical Report Hackett, Lisa Anne Plucinski ; Siddiqui, Aleem ; Dominguez, Daniel ; ...

Radio frequency (RF) devices are becoming more multi-band, increasing the number of filters and other front-end components while simultaneously pushing towards reduced cost, size, weight, and power (CSWaP). One approach to reducing CSWaP is to augment the achievable functionalities of electromechanical/acoustic filtering chips to include "active" and nonlinear functionalities, such as gain and mixing. The acoustoelectric (AE) effect could enable such active acoustic wave devices. We have examined the AE effect with a leaky surface acoustic wave (LSAW) in a monolithic structure of epitaxial indium gallium arsenide (In GaAs) on lithium niobate (LiNb0 3 ). This lead to experimentally demonstratedmore »« less

Leaky surface acoustic waves in Z-LiNbO{sub 3} substrates with epitaxial AIN overlays

Journal Article Bu, G ; Ciplys, D ; Shur, M S ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The properties of leaky surface acoustic waves (LSAW) in MBE grown AIN layer on Z-cut LiNbO{sub 3} structures have been studied by numerical simulation and experimental measurements and compared with those of Rayleigh waves in the same structure. In the range of AIN layer thicknesses studied (0<kh<0.145) the measured velocity of LSAW propagating along the X axis of LiNbO{sub 3} substrate was essentially constant at around 4400 m/s. The measured electromechanical coupling coefficients (K{sup 2}) for the LSAW are roughly 1/4 of the predicted values, which might be due to the strong attenuation of the leaky wave unaccounted for duringmore »« less

Simple realization of a monolithic integrated photoreceiver for 10Gbit/s using an InP/InGaAs heterostructure

Book Horstmann, M ; Hollfelder, M ; Schimpf, K ; ...

A novel monolithic integrated photoreceiver for 10 Gbit/s long-wavelength optoelectronic transmission systems is presented. The photoreceiver consists of an MSM photodetector and a HEMT amplifier, prepared on an identical InGaAs/InP 2DEG layer structure. Design considerations, preparation procedure and optoelectronic properties of the photoreceiver under 1.3 {micro}m wavelength illumination are presented. The MSM photodetectors exhibit a 3dB bandwidth of 16 GHz and the HEMT amplifiers have the cut-off frequency f{sub T} of 45 GHz and f{sub max} of 85 GHz. A bandwidth of 16 GHz can be achieved on optimized integrated photoreceivers.
Regenerative pulse amplification in the 10-kHz range

Journal Article Wang, X D ; Basseras, P ; Miller, R D ; ... - Optics Letters; (USA)

A continuously pumped Nd:YLF regenerative amplifier has been developed that can amplify 40-psec pulses at a repetition rate of greater than 10 kHz, with an average power in excess of 5 W. Pulse energies are as high as 2.0 mJ at 3 kHz and 640 {mu}J at 10.5 kHz. The limitation on the amplifier repetition rate that is associated with piezoelectric ringing in LiNbO{sub 3} electro-optics has been overcome by using short-pulsed electric fields (10 nsec) and proper acoustic damping. Regenerative pulse amplification, limited in repetition only by the pump rate of the gain medium, has been achieved. The highmore »« less
