Quartz length-extension resonators have already been used to obtain atomically-resolved images by frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy. Other piezoelectric materials such as gallium orthophosphate (GaPO(4)), langatate (LGT), and langasite (LGS) could be appropriate for this application. In this paper, the advantages of langasite crystal are presented and the fabrication of similar microsensors in langasite temperature-compensated cuts by chemical etching is proved. A monolithic length extension resonator, with a tip at its end, is obtained which constitutes a real advantage in regard to the existing quartz devices.

The electro-optic (E-O) response is fundamental where the refractive index of materials can be modulated by the external electric field. Up to now, E-O modulation has become a critical technology in photonics, quantum optics, modern communication, etc. However, the design of E-O crystals with broadband availabilities and large E-O effect is still challenging since the E-O response is contributed by both electrons and phonons.

A novel methodology is introduced for the computation of stress-induced surface acoustic wave velocity shifts in piezoelectric resonators including quartz, lithium niobate and langasite resonators. The numerical framework has been verified through a comparative analysis of experimental and Finite Element Method (FEM) results for quartz resonators. This approach introduces the combined capabilities of COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB, facilitated by LiveLink, to systematically calculate all parameters contributing to the perturbation integral.

SAW sensors with different piezoelectric materials and high-frequency SAW sensors used for identifying the food pathogenic bacteria () are discussed together with the examples of methods based on such sensing technology that have been effectively utilized in diagnostics and epidemiological research. This review also emphasizes some of the limitations of using these biosensors, which have prompted the increased need for more rapid, sensitive, selective, portable, power-efficient, and low-cost methods for detecting these pathogens.

Article Synopsis
- As aero-engines face extreme conditions, their performance can decline, making real-time vibration monitoring crucial for safety.
- This study presents a newly designed shear vibration sensor using Langasite (LGS) crystal, capable of operating at temperatures up to 750 °C and displaying high accuracy and sensitivity in various conditions.
- The LGS sensor is compact, easy to install, and reliable in harsh environments, providing an effective solution for the health assessment and monitoring of aero-engines.
Extending lasing wavelengths to the mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum is vital for both civilian and military applications; however, it remains challenging when employing oxide nonlinear optical crystals. In this study, we report the generation of MIR nanosecond pulses via difference frequency generation (DFG) with a near-IR pump using a newly designed langasite (LGS) crystal, La(NbTa)GaO (LGNT), which incorporates birefringence dispersion management techniques with LaGaNbO (LGN) as a template. Due to the improved effective nonlinear coefficients and the maintained IR cutoff relative to LGN, the tunable DFG laser in LGNT extended from 4.
