摘要
We present systematic experimental observations of three-mode auto-parametric instability in a micromechanical resonator analogous to previous experimental observations of this effect in optical parametric resonators. The three-mode instability is triggered when a driven mode at frequency omega(d) couples to two lower frequency modes (frequencies omega(1) and omega(2)) such that omega(d) = omega(1) + omega(2). Similar to the 2 mode instability, the phenomenon is seen to be threshold dependent and sensitive to driving conditions and system parameters. In support of the experimental observations, a dynamical model has also been specified. Published by AIP Publishing.
