Re: [time-nuts] Difference in manufacturing for fundamental tone, 3rd, and 5th overtone crystals

Hi Indeed, there are processes for things like filter crystals that reduce the (very) near by responses. There are approaches for things like SC’s to take out the somewhat further out “bothersome” stuff. Bob > On Oct 27, 2016, at 7:53 PM, Magnus Danielson > wrote:

Hi, Hmm, such fiddeling could maybe also apply to nearby alternative modes of the crystals, even if I guess it would be harder to do meaningful dents on them. Cheers, Magnus On 10/28/2016 01:50 AM, Bob Camp wrote: Hi Crystals are highly optimized for the specific overtone they are

Hi Crystals are highly optimized for the specific overtone they are intended to operate on. In fact, you can fiddle them to the point that they no longer have a “fundamental” response. Bob > On Oct 27, 2016, at 6:42 PM, Attila Kinali wrote: > > Moin, > > I have stumbled

[time-nuts] Difference in manufacturing for fundamental tone, 3rd, and 5th overtone crystals

Moin, I have stumbled over another question I am unable to answer using the tools I have available: Is there any fundamental difference in manufacturing fundamental and overtone chrystals. Or to be more precise: is there an optimization process during manufacturing that makes a crystal more
