Algorithm for optimization of interdigital transducer in AOTF

The interdigital transducer is an important device element in acousto-optic tunable filter (AOTF) and the surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagates in lithium niobate (LiNbO₃) as a substrate in interdigital transducer. In the direction of x-cut y propagation in AOTF, the power-flux vector and propagation direction of the surface wave are not collinear, which decrease the RF-to-SAW waveguide coupling efficiency. In this paper, optimal program is proposed, giving the numerical calculation. We know that to improve the coupling efficiency the direction of interdigital transducer should be inclined about 4.5 in AOTF. The experiment shows a satisfactory result.

Rapid Determination of Dimethoate with a Surface Acoustic Wave Impedance Sensor System

Abstract

Based on the principle of enzyme inhibition, a novel and sensitive lipase biosensor to determine organophosphorus pesticide is presented. Contact of the enzyme with pesticide samples results in specific inhibition of enzyme activity. Sensor calibration was possible by correlating the inhibition of enzyme activity with various concentrations of pesticide compound in a buffer solution. The sensor was successfully used to determine pesticide concentrations ranging from a low of 167ng/ml to 1.34μg/ml, and the detection limit is 81ng/ml. The effects of temperature, pH value, incubation time and solvent were also investigated. The sensor was also applied to the determination of dimethoate residues in the peel and flesh of tomato.

Pulse compression technique for simultaneous HIFU surgery and ultrasonic imaging: a preliminary study

In an ultrasound image-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) surgery, reflected HIFU waves received by an imaging transducer should be suppressed for real-time simultaneous imaging and therapy. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of pulse compression scheme combined with notch filtering in order to minimize these HIFU interference signals. A chirp signal modulated by the Dolph-Chebyshev window with 3-9 MHz frequency sweep range is used for B-mode imaging and 4 MHz continuous wave is used for HIFU. The second order infinite impulse response notch filters are employed to suppress reflected HIFU waves whose center frequencies are 4 MHz and 8 MHz. The prototype integrated HIFU/imaging transducer that composed of three rectangular elements with a spherically con-focused aperture was fabricated. The center element has the ability to transmit and receive 6 MHz imaging signals and two outer elements are only used for transmitting 4 MHz continuous HIFU wave. When the chirp signal and 4 MHz HIFU wave are simultaneously transmitted to the target, the reflected chirp signals mixed with 4 MHz and 8 MHz HIFU waves are detected by the imaging transducer. After the application of notch filtering with pulse compression process, HIFU interference waves in this mixed signal are significantly reduced while maintaining original imaging signal. In the single scanline test using a strong reflector, the amplitude of the reflected HIFU wave is reduced to −45 dB. In vitro test, with a sliced porcine muscle shows that the speckle pattern of the restored B-mode image is close to that of the original image. These preliminary results demonstrate the potential for the pulse compression scheme with notch filtering to achieve real-time ultrasound image-guided HIFU surgery.     

Investigations of the barbell ultrasonic transducer operated in the full-wave vibrational mode

In this paper, the resonance frequency equation and expression of displacement amplitude magnifications of a full-wave barber ultrasonic horn are obtained. By discussing the relationships between the displacement amplitude magnifications and the geometrical dimensions, the optimized design of the horn for the largest magnification is proposed, which is helpful to improve the radiation power and the transfer efficiency of the acoustic energy of the ultrasonic oscillatory system. Based on the optimized design of the horn, we introduced a barbell ultrasonic transducer operated in the longitudinal full-wave vibrational model and obtained the resonance frequency equations. For comparison, the resonance frequencies of the full-wave barbell horn and the full-wave barbell transducer are also analyzed by finite element method (FEM). It is shown that the values obtained by theoretical analysis and FEM are in good agreement with experimental observations. We hope that the research of this paper is helpful for the use of the barbell horn and transducer in the applications such as ultrasonic liquid processing.
