Abstract:According to requirements of a Raman-type acousto-optic device driven by surface acoustic wave (SAW), a SAW resonator with low loss and large Q value was designed and fabricated, which can meet the requirement of Raman-Nath diffraction. The performance of the resonator was simulated by establishing COM (coupling-of-model) model, solving COM equation and extracting COM parameters. The design parameters of the resonator were simulated by COM software, and it is show that the theoretical center frequency, Q value and insertion loss of the designed resonator are 78.028MHz, 10428 and -6.153dB, respectively. Then the resonator was fabricated with micromachining technology and its performance was tested with vector network analyzer. Such results are obtained as: the actual center frequency of 78.34MHz, insertion loss of -11.273dB, Q value of 6465.7.
