Abstract

A piezoelectric vibrator includes a piezoelectric element having an electromechanical coupling coefficient of a thickness-extensional vibration mode greater than that of a thickness-share vibration mode, and a pair of electrodes arranged on surfaces of the piezoelectric element so that harmonic energy of the thickness-extensional vibration of the piezoelectric element is trapped.
