Phononic Frequency Combs via Nonlinear Resonances


الملخص بالإنكليزية

We study the analogue of optical frequency combs in driven nonlinear phononic systems, and present a new generation mechanism for phononic frequency combs via nonlinear resonances. The nonlinear resonance refers to the simultaneous excitation of a set of phonon modes by the external driving, and thereby generated frequency combs are characterized by an array of equidistant spectral lines in the spectrum of each nonlinearly excited phonon mode. Frequency combs via nonlinear resonance of different orders are investigated, and particularly we reveal the possibility for correlation tailoring in higher order cases. The investigation contributes to potential applications in various nonlinear acoustic processes, such as harvesting phonons and generating phonon entanglements, and can also be generalized to other nonlinear systems.
