Abstract
The propagation of wide-band acoustic pulses in one-dimensional periodic structures consisting of alternating plexiglas and water layers is studied theoretically and experimentally. The experiment is carried out with the use of the wide-band photoacoustic spectroscopy based on the laser excitation of ultrasound and a wide-band signal detection. The fact that the transmission spectrum of a periodic structure has alternating pass and stop bands is confirmed experimentally. The width and localization of the stop bands strongly depend on the thickness of the layers and on the phase velocity of ultrasound in them. It is demonstrated that defects of the structure periodicity give rise to one or several local transmission maxima in the stop band and to a modification of the pass band. The amplitude and position of a local maximum in the stop band strongly depend on the position of the defective layer. The experimental data agree well with the results of numerical simulation.
