Abstract

The new technology is offered for measurement of acoustic wave frequency. The method is based on using the Bragg light diffraction on the hypersonic transversal acoustic wave in a gyrotropic crystal. As is well known, the intensity of diffracted light in this case is strongly dependent from the quantity of specific rotation of polarization vector. As a result, using the standard calibration of light intensity it is possible to measure the changes of acoustic wave frequency. Measurements of the diffracted light intensity have been carried out in several points along the direction of the acoustic wave propagation. The applied sample of LiNbO3 was oriented along the crystallographic axis of the third order with the accuracy of 10′. The plane‐polarized transverse acoustic waves were excited in the frequency range from 900 MHz to 1.2 GHz. The results obtained at the average frequency 1.0 GHz were shown, that the intensity of diffracted light intensity is sensitive parameter to the change of the transverse acou...
