固-固界面退化特性的超声反射评价方法

提出了一种基于有限宽超声束反射的固-固界面退化特性评价方法,从理论和数值仿真角度进行了分析和计算。将两固体界面间的薄层简化为界面弹簧模型,以界面法向和切向劲度系数表征界面的退化程度。通过数值计算求得有限宽超声纵波束在不同入射角和界面不同退化程度下的反射横波、反射纵波的镜面反射系数。进一步地,通过建立二维有限元模型,仿真研究了有限宽超声纵波束在给定入射角及界面不同退化程度下镜面反射系数的变化规律。结果表明,反射纵波和反射横波的镜面反射系数随有限宽超声纵波束的入射角及界面劲度系数的改变而变化,且存在镜面反射系数随界面劲度系数单调且敏感变化的入射角,据此可准确评价界面的退化程度。     

Nearly backward reflection of bulk acoustic waves at grazing incidence in a TeO2 crystal

Reflection of bulk acoustic waves in a TeO₂ acoustooptic single crystal is studied for the case of a grazing incidence on the free crystal-vacuum boundary. The propagation and reflection of elastic waves is considered in the XOY plane of the material cut out in the form of a rectangular prism. An extraordinary case of reflection at the grazing incidence, when the energy flow of one of the two reflected waves in the crystal is directed opposite to that of the incident wave, is studied. It is shown that the transformation of the incident elastic energy into the energy of the backward-reflected wave can occur with an efficiency close to 100% and can be observed in a wide range of crystal cut angles. An abrupt change of the reflection coefficients in the vicinity of the critical angle is predicted.     

Bragg diffraction of light by ultrasonic shear waves in a plane-parallel layer

We have studied anisotropic Bragg diffraction of light by ultrasonic shear waves in an optically isotropic plane-parallel layer. We have established the analytical dependences of the relative intensities and polarization azimuths of reflected and transmitted diffracted waves on the intensity of the ultrasound, the layer thickness, the angle of incidence, and the polarization azimuth of the incident light. We show that rotation of the plane of polarization of the diffracted wave is determined by the different Fresnel reflection of the s and p polarized components of the incident light in the plane-parallel layer. We have determined that in mismatched acousto-optic structures, deep amplitude modulation of transmitted and reflected light is possible which is an order of magnitude greater than the usual modulation in matched structures.     

Observation of the lateral displacement of surface acoustic beams reflected at boundaries of layered substrates

The reflection of an acoustic surface wave incident on a velocity discontinuity is studied near the critical angle by using an optical-diffraction probe. The abrupt velocity change is implemented on fused quartz and on single crystal quartz substrates by plating the surface with a prism-shaped gold layer. A lateral displacement of the reflected beam, relative to the mirror-reflection path, is observed. For angles of incidence corresponding to total reflection, the phenomenon exhibits a behaviour which is similar to the Goos-Hänchen effect encountered at the total reflection of bounded electromagnetic waves. However, contrary to the electromagnetic case, it is found here that a significant lateral shift occurs also for angles well into the partial-reflection region and that the reflected beam profile is considerably distorted at the critical angle. These observations may be evidence of a leaky-wave mode along the boundary of the plated area, with the phase-matching condition satisfied at or near the critical angle.     

Reflection of elastic waves in a crystal of Heusler alloy Ni<Subscript>2</Subscript>MnGa in the phase transition range

The reflection of longitudinal and transverse acoustic waves from the free surface of the ferromagnetic shape memory alloy Ni₂MnGa that is located in the ranges of the premartensite and martensite phase transformations is considered. The propagation directions and amplitudes of the waves reflected in the (001) plane of the crystal are determined. They acquire the character of substantially quasi-longitudinal and quasi-transverse vibrations rather than being pure modes. The angles of wave reflection and conversion are shown to be effectively controlled by temperature and a magnetic field due to the colossal acoustic anisotropy of the crystal over the wide range of its phase transitions. Beginning from a certain critical angle of incidence of a quasi-transverse wave, the quasi-longitudinal wave having appeared upon reflection becomes an accompanying surface vibration, and it can be emitted into the bulk of the crystal when the phase transition point is approached. Two angles of full conversion of an incident quasi-longitudinal wave into a quasi-transverse wave are established, and their temperature dependences are found. Trivisonno’s experimental data for the ultrasound velocity and absorption in an Ni₂MnGa crystal are used to numerically estimate these acoustic effects.     

An Experimental Study of Ultra-Wide-Band and Ultra-Wide-Aperture Non-Collinear Acousto-Optic Diffraction in an Optically Biaxial Potassium Arsenate Titanyl Crystal

Acousto-optic interaction in an optically biaxial crystalline medium under propagation of light close to one of the optical axes of a potassium arsenate titanyl KTiOAsO₄ crystal has been studied. The experimental dependences of the intensity of a diffracted optical beam on the angle of light incidence on an ultrasonic wave have been obtained. It has been shown that a flat cut of a wave-vector surface provides development of an ultra-wide-aperture and ultra-wide-band acousto-optic deflector to control radiation in the visible and infrared electromagnetic spectral ranges.     

Features of acousto-optic interaction in uniaxial gyrotropic crystals

The features of noncollinear acousto-optic interaction in gyrotropic crystals in the intermediate diffraction regime and the regime of Bragg diffraction were investigated. The dependence of the efficiency of diffraction in gyrotropic paratellurite, tellurium, and quartz crystals on the intensity of the ultrasonic wave, acousto-optic interaction length, and incident-light polarization was investigated. It is shown that the gyrotropy of the crystal is responsible for the appearance of a multiple-peak structure of the Bragg maximum. It has been established that in the case of propagation of incident and diffracted waves in the vicinity of the optical axis of the crystal, the diffraction efficiency is independent of the polarization state of the incident light. The results of theoretical calculations are in agreement with the experimental results obtained for uniaxial crystals.

Electrooptic reflection with surface plasmons

Electrooptic reflection with surface plasmons is studied both experimentally and theoretically. An attenuated total reflection (ATR) geometry is used in which a quartz electrooptic crystal onto which a thin Ag film has been evaporated is contacted to the hypotenuse face of a high-index prism. Modulation in the ATR of an He–Ne beam near the angle for surface plasmon excitation is observed when a low-frequency electric field is applied to the quartz crystal. Experiments have been done with both single and multiple boundary surface waves. The angular spectra show phase reversal structure due to the interference of the modulated reflected wave with the ATR wave. The modulated reflectance is calculated directly from a well-known solution to the boundary value problem in nonlinear optics. Good quantitative agreement with the observations is obtained.     

Influence of acoustic anisotropy of paratellurite crystal on the double acousto-optic Bragg light scattering

Influence of acoustic anisotropy on acousto-optic interaction in optically and acoustically anisotropic media is theoretically and experimentally studied. A specific type of acousto-optic diffraction is analyzed with allowance for the phase-matching conditions for two diffraction maxima. Analytical expressions for the phase-mismatch parameters versus the angle between the phase and group velocities of acoustic wave are derived. Light intensity in the diffraction peaks is numerically calculated, and experimental data on the diffraction in the paratellurite crystal at an acoustic walk-off angle of 54° are presented.     

Volume reflection of 1-GeV protons by a bent silicon crystal

The volume reflection of 1-GeV protons by a bent crystal has been observed. The crystal is made of single crystal silicon. The (111) atomic planes are bent owing to the elastic quasimosaicity effect, which makes it possible to reduce the crystal length for a beam to 30 μm. It is found that the probability of the reflection effect is higher than the probability of the channeling effect (0.71 vs. 0.63), and the deflection angle of the protons reflected inside the crystal is equal to 1.39 ± 0.04 in terms of the critical angle for channeling under the conditions of the experiment (170 μrad). The width of the reflected peak is equal to 1.76 ± 0.04 in the same units. The protons that are not involved in channeling at the angular position of maximum channeling undergo volume reflection and are deflected in the direction opposite to the channeled beam by the angle 1.01 ± 0.05 in terms of the critical angle for channeling. The width of the reflected peak is equal to 1.94 ± 0.08 in the same units. Original Russian Text ? Yu.M. Ivanov, N.F. Bondar’, Yu.A. Gavrikov, A.S. Denisov, A.V. Zhelamkov, V.G. Ivochkin, S.V.

Generation of elastic stress waves at a corner junction of square rods

Fourier techniques are used to predict the transmitted and reflected waves at an L-joint in rods of square cross-section. The expressions for both longitudinal and flexural wave components are derived for a variable angle of connection for the rods. These components are evaluated for a 90° angle of connection and an arbitrary longitudinal input pulse. The predicted waves are compared with experimental results at a number of locations away from the joint for an input pulse with wavelengths which are large compared with the cross-sectional dimensions of the rods. Good agreement is obtained for all waves. For the flexural wave this agreement is shown to improve with distance from the joint. This confirms the adequacy of elementary and Timoshenko beam theory to describe the longitudinal and flexural wave motions respectively. The results demonstrate the applicability of Fourier techniques to the solution of stress wave propagation in rods.

Acousto-optical diagnostics of Gulyaev-Bleustein waves under Fresnel reflection conditions

Diffraction of light by ultrasonic Gulyaev-Bleustein waves is studied under Fresnel reflection conditions. It is shown that Gulyaev-Bleustein waves propagating in GaAs-AlGaAs structures can be detected by acousto-optic methods under conditions for Fresnel reflection of diffracted waves. It has been established that the considered structures are promising for design of multichannel acousto-optical deflectors and modulators. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 75, No. 4, pp. 583–587, July–August, 2008.     

Backscattering enhancements from Rayleigh waves on the flat face of a tilted solid cylinder in water

When the face of a finite solid elastic cylinder is ensonified by an acoustic wave, a variety of backscattering contributions associated with acoustic wave coupling into elastic waves are observed. A significant backscattering enhancement is observed for tilts such that the acoustic wave is incident on the face of the cylinder in the vicinity of the coupling angle for launching Rayleigh waves across the face. The observed backscattering indicates that the Rayleigh waves are reflected at the edge of the face and subsequently radiate acoustic waves in the backscattering direction. The measured backscattering is compared to an approximate theoretical prediction. Approximating the focusing of the Rayleigh wave after reflection at the (circular) edge by a Gaussian beam pressure distribution on the cylinder's face yields simple expressions for the amplitude which are consistent with the measurements. In the vicinity of end-on incidence, other backscattering contributions due to the reflection of waves traveling down the length of the cylinder are observed. There is also evidence of a face-traversing longitudinal wave for slightly tilted cylinders.     

Reflection of surface acoustic waves in the bulk of a hexagonal single crystal

It has been shown that surface acoustic waves in some hexagonal crystals can include not only the waves outgoing from the surface into the bulk of the crystal but also the reflected waves, i.e., those coming from the bulk of an infinite single crystal. The outgoing and reflected waves decay exponentially with the distance from the surface. It has been found that the reflected wave can exist if the velocity of its propagation is below the critical value, which does not exist for some crystals. The numerical calculations have shown in what real hexagonal crystals the reflected wave can exist. The values of the critical velocity have been found for a number of hexagonal crystals.     

Acoustic wave propagation through the boundary between a liquid and the Heusler ferromagnetic alloy

Incidence of an acoustic wave upon a plane boundary between a liquid and a ferromagnetic crystal is considered. The ferromagnet is the Ni_2+x+y Mn_1−x Ga_1−y Heusler alloy with a shape memory, which is in the region of the premartensite or martensite phase transition in temperature. The directions of propagation and polarization and the amplitudes of the reflected and transmitted quasilongitudinal and quasitransverse waves in the (110) plane of the crystal are determined. Starting from a certain critical angle of incidence, a longitudinal wave in the crystal becomes inhomogeneous and gliding along the boundary with an accompanying surface oscillation. In the vicinity of the phase transition point, this wave may be radiated into the crystal bulk. Proceeding from the experimental data by Trivisonno for ultrasonic velocities and absorption in a Ni₂MnGa crystal, numerical estimates are obtained for the aforementioned acoustic effects.

Reflection–refraction of attenuated waves at the interface between a thermo-poroelastic medium and a thermoelastic medium

Phenomenon of reflection and refraction is considered at the plane interface between a thermoelastic medium and thermo-poroelastic medium. Both the media are isotropic and behave dissipative to wave propagation. Incident wave in thermo-poroelastic medium is considered inhomogeneous with deviation allowed between the directions of propagation and maximum attenuation. For this incidence, four attenuated waves reflect back in thermo-poroelastic medium and three waves refract to the continuing thermoelastic medium. Each of these reflected/refracted waves is inhomogeneous and propagates with a phase shift. The propagation characteristics (velocity, attenuation, inhomogeneity, phase shift, amplitude, energy) of reflected and refracted waves are calculated as functions of propagation direction and inhomogeneity of the incident wave. Variations in these propagation characteristics with the incident direction are illustrated through a numerical example.
