Elastic Waves in Solids II: Generation, Acousto-Optic Interaction, Applications

by Daniel Royer, Eugene Dieulesaint, Eugene Royer, Daniel; Dieulesaint

Book Overview

Elastic waves possess some remarkable properties and it is these that explain their important role in the processing of electronic signals and the sensing of physical quantities. For example, they can be generated by localized or distributed sources, can propagate in the core or on the surface of optically transparent or opaque solids, have velocities one hundred thousand times less than those of electromagnetic waves, and they can modify the characteristics...
