The need for wearable or abandoned microsystems, as well as the trend to a lower power consumption of electronic devices, make miniaturized renewable energy generators a viable alternative to batteries. Among the different alternatives, an interesting option is the use of inertial microgenerators for energy scavenging from vibrations present in the environment. These devices constitute perpetual energy sources without the need for refilling, thus being well suited for abandoned sensors, wireless systems or microsystems which must be embedded within the structure, without outside physical connections. Different electromagnetic energy scavenging devices have been described in the literature [1,2,3], based on the use of a velocity damped resonator, which is well suited for harvesting of vibrational energy induced by the operation of machines. These vibrations are characterized by a well defined frequency (in the range between few Hzs and few kHzs) and low displacement amplitudes. Adjusting the resonant frequency of the system to that of the vibrations allows amplification of these low amplitude displacements. Moreover, for these applications, the use of an electromagnetic device has the potential advantages of a good level of compatibility with Si Microsystem technology, as well as the possibility of relatively high electromechanical coupling with simple designs.
An atom attached to a micrometer-scale wire that is vibrating at a frequency of 100 MHz and with displacement amplitude 1 nm experiences an acceleration magnitude 10^9 ms^-2, approaching the surface gravity of a neutron star. As one application of su
Precision measurement of non-linear observables is an important goal in all facets of quantum optics. This allows measurement-based non-classical state preparation, which has been applied to great success in various physical systems, and provides a r
The Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian is used to obtain general expressions for electric and magnetic fields induced by non-linearity, to leading order in the non-linear expansion parameter, and for quasistatic situations. These expressions are t
