Abstract
Variations in the attenuation of Stoneley waves on the glued boundaries between several thin aluminized front surface mirrors and flat 7070 Pyrex glass samples are reported [R. Stoneley, Proc. R. Soc. London Ser. A 106, 416–428 (1924)]. The Pyrex samples were ground using successively finer grades of carborundum abrasive. Nine megahertz surface acoustic waves (SAW) generated on the mirror surface were converted to Stoneley waves on the 2.54 cm by 0.635 cm mirror glass/ground glass sample boundary and then back from Stoneley to SAW on the opposite side of the sample. Stoneley wave attenuation was determined for each pair by optically measuring incident and transmitted SAW amplitudes via fixed input beam differential interferometry [C. H. Palmer, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 53, 948–949 (1973)]. Preliminary results indicate a correlation between measure Stoneley wave attenuation and adhesive bond and interface quality.
