Resonant excitation of a single self-assembled quantum dot can be achieved using an excitation mode orthogonal to the fluorescence collection mode. We demonstrate a method using the waveguide and Fabry-Perot modes of a planar microcavity surrounding the quantum dots. The method allows complete freedom in the detection polarization.

The Lewis structure of a nitrite anion (NO2−) may actually be drawn in two different ways, distinguished by the locations of the N-O and N=O bonds. If nitrite ions do indeed contain a single and a double bond, the two bond lengths are expected to be different. A double bond between two atoms is shorter (and stronger) than a single bond between the same two atoms. However, experiments show that both N–O bonds in NO2− have the same strength and length, and are identical in all other...

FAQs
The response near resonance is governed by the interaction of mass, stiffness, damping, and forcing frequency. Mass and stiffness establish the system’s natural-frequency behavior, while damping limits how strongly motion builds as the applied frequency approaches that range. Engineers therefore assess these properties together rather than treating frequency alone as the determinant of amplitude.
Each applied cycle can reinforce the existing motion when the forcing frequency is close to a natural frequency. That repeated reinforcement explains why a modest periodic input can produce a large response. Damping removes energy from the motion, reducing amplification and influencing whether resonance becomes a useful operating condition or a hazardous one.
The relationship between forcing frequency and a structure’s natural frequency controls how strongly the system responds. As the applied frequency moves toward a natural frequency, amplification can increase; moving away from that relationship reduces the conditions for strong reinforcement. This frequency dependence allows engineers to analyze response behavior and recognize potentially excessive vibration.
Engineers apply a periodic force and examine how the system responds as the relationship between forcing frequency and natural frequency changes. The observed response reveals where amplification occurs and how strongly the system reacts. This information supports frequency-response analysis, helping characterize engineered structures and identify conditions that may require design attention.
Resonance can selectively amplify a signal or improve sensitivity, making a small response easier to detect or distinguish. Mechanical and electrical resonators use this behavior for controlled signal response, while sensing technologies can exploit the same amplification. The engineering value comes from selecting a frequency relationship that enhances the desired signal rather than an unwanted vibration.
Identifying resonant conditions helps engineers address excessive vibration before it contributes to fatigue, noise, or structural failure. This is relevant across machines, vehicles, buildings, and other engineered systems. The same analysis that reveals amplification for testing or sensing can therefore support safer design decisions when large responses would damage components or reduce system performance.
