Originally, sensors based on surface acoustic waves are fabricated using photolithography, which becomes extremely expensive when a small series or even single elements are needed for the research. A laser thin film local evaporation technique is proposed to substitute the photolithography process in the production of surface acoustic wave based inertial sensors prototypes. To estimate its potential a prototype of a surface acoustic wave gyroscope sensing element was fabricated and tested. Its was shown that the frequency mismatch is no more than 1%, but dispersion of the wave on small inertial masses leads to a spurious parasitic signal on receiving electrodes. Possible ways of its neglecting is discussed.

Over the last decades, the use of Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) has emerged as a promising technology in many applications such as filters, signal processing but also sensors. We report the fabrication and the characterization of a SAW delay line magnetic field sensor using uniaxial multi-layered 14×[TbCo2(3.7nm)/FeCo(4nm)] nanostructured thin film deposited on Y36° Lithium Niobate (Figure 1a). The sensor shows an interesting dependency to a tunable bias magnetic field with different orientations relative to the easy axis. The obtained results are well explained using an equivalent piezo-magnetic model described in a previous work.

We introduce a microfluidic device that uses traveling surface acoustic waves to lyse bacteria with high efficiency. This lysis method should be applicable to a wide range of bacteria species and can be modified to analyze individual bacteria cells.

Periodic elastic structures, called phononic crystals, show interesting frequency domain characteristics that can greatly influence the performance of acoustic and ultrasonic devices for several applications. Phononic crystals are acoustic counterparts of the extensively-investigated photonic crystals that are made by varying material properties periodically. Here we demonstrate the existence of phononic band-gaps for surface acoustic waves (SAWs) in a half-space of two dimensional phononic crystals consisting of hexagonal (honeycomb) arrangement of air cylinders in a crystalline Silicon background with low filling fraction. A theoretical calculation of band structure for bulk wave using finite element method is also achieved and shows that there is no complete phononic band gap in the case of the low filling fraction. Fabrication of the holes in Silicon is done by optical lithography and deep Silicon dry etching. In the experimental characterization, we have used slanted finger interdigitated transducers deposited on a thin layer of Zinc oxide (sputtered on top of the phononic crystal structure to excite elastic surface waves in Silicon) to cover a wide range of frequencies. We believe this to be the first reported demonstration of phononic band-gap for SAWs in a hexagonal lattice phononic crystal at such a high frequency.
