Hello , I have created a resonator as shown below in CST. The waveguide port automatickly sets impedance as he sees along the line. I got a TEM mode of quarter wavelength as shown below. However the matching is very bad. Where did i go wrong creating this resonator? Thanks. E-Field:

Homework Statement: TEM mode Relevant Equations: TEM mode Hello, I have built a TEM mode resonator closed from bothe sides and added a source. E-field is attached.how can i excite such mode threw that slot? Hope this the correct forum.

Hello everyone, A simple ring resonator with a bus waveguide is described by: $$ \begin{pmatrix} E_{t1}\\ E_{t2} \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} t & k\\ -k^* & t^* \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} E_{i1}\\ E_{i2} \end{pmatrix} $$ I do not understand though why we have -k* and t*? Shouldn't...

Dear forum, I was trying out two different approaches to calculate the dimensions of a ring resonator (sketch below) and got two slightly different solutions. The first approach is to assume that the waveguide wavelength has to fit n times onto the circumference of the ring (taking the average...

It is known that constructive interference in one place must be compensated for by destructive interference in another. Take a simple Fabry Perot resonator for example. The interference occurring at both sides of the first mirror (assuming one incident electric field) compensate each other out...

Suppose, there is an electro-optical modulator that can couple the neighboring modes in an optical ring resonator. The Hamiltonian for the system looks something like this^^ (see the attached image). Here we sum over all modes m and 𝜙0 is a parameter. What will be a good set of basis for the...

Hello everyone, I am studying transmission line resonators and in particular I was considering a particular case of resonator where I have an open circuited quarter wavelength transformer of high impedance terminating a regular 50 ##\Omega## line. If I look at the input impedance from the open...

I guess the resonator will be stable when both focal lengths of lens and curved mirror meet. The curved mirror is fixed and it's focal length: $$f_{curved} = \frac{R_{2}}{2} = 50 \, mm.$$ Then the d should be: $$d=f_{lens}+f_{curved} = 100 \, mm.$$ I think that's also the distance for which the...

I claim that waveguides are resonators because a resonator is defined as a device which can produce you normal modes of some ' mathematical object' you're looking for, which in waveguide's case is Electromagnetic fields ( waveguide can produce normal modes called TE and TM ). Am I right?

Hello, I am designing a resonant mems accelerometer. It has a resonating beam. We are actuating it by AC voltage + DC voltage. We are going to actuate it at beam's resonance frequency. When I search for papers related to previous studies, I encounter resonance frequencies ranging from 20 kHz to...

Does anybody happen to know the formula for resonant frequency of a Helmholtz resonator having N necks? Physics is not my field and I'm a bit over my head. I need the formula for a computer program related to musical instruments--this is the only thing holding me up. It seems like it would...

Hello guys, I read the other threads about HR, resonances and so on, but I couldn't find a clear explanation of what the practical implications of using a HR are. From one side, HR is described as a "reactive element", used in several contexts to attenuate a specific noise by means of...

Hi, guys. I'm interrest in the question about how optical (laser) resonator can generates the standing wave? As i know, there is a condition that the resonator base (lenght between two mirrors) should be multiple to the length of the wave. (L=k*(lamda/2)). But in practice no one never measures...

Hi friends! I solved the problem 8.3 of ``Problems in Lasers Physics'' book (by Cerullo, Longhi, Nisoli, Stagira and Svelto) but I think there's a mistake on the solution presented in this book in page 196. This is a problem book with problems and solutions that follows closely the laser...

I want to build a Resonant Cavity to play with frequencies around 100-700 mhz. I'd like to try different shapes, so I was thinking in using a cheap malleable material like aluminum foil. Questions: - I think one layer of aluminum foil might be too thin.. If I paste a couple of layers will do...

Carver Mead writes in his book, "Collective Electrodynamics", that experimental evidence indicates a superconducting ring and capacitor resonator circuit will increase from zero voltage (scalar potential difference) to an energy matching a 3 degree Kelvin black body radiation spectrum...

Hello, the resonator of a laser system is said to have 3 functions: Amplification in one direction, selection of one or few frequencies, and enhancement of coherence. I have a question about the coherence part. I see that the stimulated emission process produces phase matched light. Initially...

Is it possible to have a laser without a resonator? My guess is you can as you would still get some proportion of light coming from the inverted medium. My question is how would this light be different (from that of a laser with a resonator) and are there any practical uses for such a device?

Hi, I have been having this question for a long while. From Pozar's book (Microwave Engineering), on page 336, when he was solving for the resonance response and the Q factor for a Lamba/2 resonator terminated by an open circuit, and coupled to the feed line through a series capacitor, at some...

Hello, I'm trying to do an animation of a photon being absorbed by a resonator vs. the corresponding S11 plot being plotted against frequency. Can anyone give suggestions on how to go about this. As the photon goes through Vin, at other frequencies it will be reflected and probed at Vout. This...

I am trying to "perform" a thought experiment suggested in http://arxiv.org/ftp/quant-ph/papers/0206/0206190.pdf (Not that I personally have anything against non-locality :angel: Some of my best friends are non-local.) A source generates a single, narrow gated pulse of light containing one...

I want to replace a dielectric resonator in a satellite LNB to change the frequency of the LO. Can I use a filter to replace this resonator? a Helical filter maybe.

I've always just accepted that as you scale down a mechanical system the frequency and Q factor both increase. For example, this Wikipedia page simply says that "Small bells ring at higher frequencies than large bells". But for a driven damped harmonic oscillator, what is the exact relationship...

I'm working on a school project that requires me to build a RF oscillator that is able to be started and stopped at about 100kHz. Ceramic or crystal oscillators would be good because of their tiny size, however, the high Q factor creates a problem. So my question was, can placing a resistor in...

Hi, recently there was an article in one scientific journal where they claimed that when microwaves are shined on a mixture of dielectric solid (powdered or crystalline) of high dielectric constant with some liquid, the EM field is much higher, both in the dielectric and in the liquid, as...

Hi I am curious to know if quality factor of a resonator depends on the excitation signal or if it stay the same irrespective of the signal applied? Thanks

Hi, I am trying to understand how precisely a voltmeter is used to measure the resonant frequency of a sound wave in a helmholtz resonator. Is it simply that the maximum voltage corresponds to the resonant frequency? A detailed description or external link would be great. Many thanks.

I've been reading lately in particle accelerators and electrons and it got me wondering. How do electrons induce resonance in a cavity resonator? Do they have to first be accelerated to one of the walls of the cavity where they then bounce off toward the other wall?
