| Beschreibung: | By leveraging the high sensitivity of acousto-optic modulators to microwave signals, their integration into RFID systems can significantly improve the detection of faint microwave signals. Traditional acousto-optic modulators, which use bidirectional uniform comb transducers (IDTs), suffer from a 50% microwave signal loss due to the diffraction efficiency being less than 50%, complicating the accurate identification of already weak signals. This paper presents a solution to the 50% loss issue by replacing the IDT with a floating electrode unidirectional transducer (FEUDT), a key structure in detecting microwave signals. The resulting samples exhibited an optical waveguide insertion loss of 8.73 dB, a mode field diameter of 6.48 μm, an operating frequency of 141.2 MHz, and a diffraction efficiency of 61.72%, and required only 0.57 W of driving power. Comparative empirical tests with traditional transducers under identical conditions demonstrated that the FEUDT-based acousto-optic modulator surpassed the 50% diffraction efficiency limit of conventional modulators, which facilitated the detection of weak microwave signals. |
