Characterization of Acoustic Sources by Optical Feedback Interferometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sound can be described as the propagation of pressure variations in compressible media that involves compression and expansion and induces a change in the density of the medium. This change in acoustic pressure as it induces a change of the refractive index can be measured by optical methods, the most recent being the optical feedback interferometry. With this technique, a laser diode is beaming on a reflective surface thus creating a cavity where the acoustic wave propagates. This paper presents anovel experimental technique to measure radiation pattern of acoustic sources based on optical feedback interferometry in a laser diode.

Imaging of acoustic fields using optical feedback interferometry.
This study introduces optical feedback interferometry as a simple and effective technique for the two-dimensional visualisation of acoustic fields. We present imaging results for several pressure distributions including those for progressive waves, standing waves, as well as the diffraction and interference patterns of the acoustic waves. The proposed solution has the distinct advantage of extr...

In this work, aluminum nitride (AlN) thin films with different thicknesses were deposited on quartz and silicon substrates using single ion beam sputtering technique. The physical and chemical properties of prepared films were investigated by different characterization technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra revealed that all of the deposited films have an amorphous str...
متن کاملMeasurement and comparison of the temperature-dependence of refractive index of water and Plexiglas phantoms by interferometry method for their use in optical calorimetry
In radiation calorimetry by using laser beams and interferometry setups, variations induced by dose absorption in phantom can be precisely measured. Dose absorption and the induced temperature change result in refractive index variation of the material. In order to be able to measure the low amount of absorbed dose in the phantom, temperature dependence of refractive index of the material must ...
متن کاملAn application of holographic interferometry to acoustical holography
Holographic interferometry with a phase-modulated reference beam is applied to an acoustic holography. A very thin, flexible, optically reflective membrane, called a pellicle, is used in the liquid as an acousto-optic interface. The method involves three processes: the motion of a pellicle caused by an ultrasonic wave is recorded as an optical hologram using holographic interferometry; the opti...
متن کاملCoherent Tomographic Laser Interferometry for the Aero-acoustic Characterization of Cold Jets
This paper aims to describe the complete characterization of aero-acoustic sources, with specific attention to turbulent jet flows with a new approach. The traditional way to tackle fluid dynamic phenomena is to measure the velocity field by means of Laser Doppler Anemometer, Particle Image Velocimetry with the main drawback due to the need of seeding the flow. To overcome that problem the 3D s...
