Laser photoacoustic technique for ultrasonic surface acoustic wave velocity evaluation on porcelain
نویسندگان
چکیده
A laser photoacoustic technique has been developed to evaluate the surface acoustic wave (SAW) velocity of porcelain. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm was focused by a cylindrical lens to initiate broadband SAW impulses, which were detected by an optical fiber interferometer with high spatial resolution. Multiple near-field surface acoustic waves were observed on the sample surface at various locations along the axis perpendicular to the laser line source as the detector moved away from the source in the same increments. The frequency spectrum and dispersion curves were obtained by operating on the recorded waveforms with cross-correlation and FFT. The SAW phase velocities of the porcelain of the same source are similar while they are different from those of different sources. The marked differences of Rayleigh phase velocities in our experiment suggest that this technique has the potential for porcelain identification.

Fourier Domain Reconstruction Methods in Laser Ultrasonics and Photoacoustic Imaging
Laser-ultrasonics as well as photoacoustic imaging use optically generated acoustic waves detected at the sample surface to image its interior. In laser-ultrasonics, a laser pulse is absorbed at the sample surface generating an ultrasound pulse that propagates into the sample, is reflected at internal structures, and is detected at the surface. In photoacoustic imaging, the source of the ultras...

A non-destructive laser ultrasonic surface acoustic wave technique has been demonstrated to quantitatively evaluate the elastic response of human dental enamel. We demonstrate the system performance by measuring surface acoustic wave velocity in sound and demineralised enamel.

In this paper, we examine the potential of a fully noncontact-standoff laser-ultrasound concept to generate and measure elastic waves in order to construct internal structure and matrix images within biological tissue. We use a pulsed optical laser (Q-switched) as an excitation source that converts optical energy to ultrasonic waves within a tissue complex via photoacoustic (PA) mechanisms. Las...
