Abstract

The non-specular reflection of a leaky surface acoustic wave radiated beam from the surface of piezoelectric lithium tantalate crystal has been investigated using an acoustoelectric and acousto-optic technique. The Schoch-type beam displacement upon reflection strongly depends on whether the surface is free or metalized. This effect is attributed to the excitation (on the reflecting surface) of the leaky surface wave, the acoustoelectric attenuation of which strongly depends on the surface conductivity.
