Abstract
Bulk acoustic waves at frequencies up to several hundred megahertz and acoustic powers down to the nanowatt range have been visualized via acousto‐optic Bragg diffraction. Using double‐optical and electrical‐heterodyne mixing, the acoustic wavefronts have been displayed over several wavelengths along the propagation path. Possible applications of the reported experiments are briefly reviewed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
