Item Open Access Generation of new frequencies in toroid microcavities(IEEE, 2008) Akbulut, Duygu; Tülek, Abdullah; Bayındır, MehmetMicrotoroid cavities with ultra high Q-factor have been fabricated using a combined process of photolithography and reflow technique for observing non-linear effects such as generation of new frequency components. For this purpose SiO2 material was used to form the toroidal cavity shape, and chalcogenide material of As2S3 maintaining very high nonlinear refractive index was thermally evaporated on top with varying thicknesses. Simulation results of the fabricated structure have exhibited new frequency components around the excitation window of 1520 nm produced by non-linear interactions.Item Open Access Parametrically coupled multiharmonic force imaging(AIP Publishing, 2008) Abak, M. K.; Aktas, O.; Mammadov R.; Gürsel, I.; Dâna, A.We report use of nonlinear tip-sample interactions to parametrically convert the frequency components of periodic tip-sample interaction forces to frequencies where they can be resonantly detected. One flexural mode of a cantilever is used for tapping-mode imaging and another flexural mode is used for detection of forces converted in presence of an externally injected mechanical oscillation at the difference frequency of the detecting mode and a harmonic of the tapping mode. Material contrast in attractive and repulsive regimes are demonstrated on samples with polymethyl methacrylate patterns and with deoxyribonucleic acid strands on silicon. © 2008 American Institute of Physics.
