چکیده

The partial differential equation for the wave function in the problem of the diffraction of light by an ultrasonic wave is derived as the result of transformations and related approximations of the electrical field equation itself. It is shown that this way of treating the diffraction problem is equivalent to the generating function method applied to the Raman-Nath system of difference-differential equations for the amplitudes of the diffracted waves. This general method is worked out here for diffraction due to an amplitude-modulated ultrasonic wave, for which the symmetry properties of the diffraction pattern are also investigated with the help of the transformed wave equation. Afterwards the wave function is considered as a generating function for the amplitudes. The corresponding partial differential equation for this generator is solved exactly in the case of large ultrasonic wave lengths at oblique incidence of the light.

A Novel Method for Ultrasonic Evaluation of Horizontal Defects Using Time-of-Flight Diffraction

Time-of-flight diffraction method (ToFD) is an amplitude-independent sizing method which is based on the measurement of time-of-flight of defect tip diffracted waves. Although ToFD can measure through-wall length of defect accurately, this method is not capable of measuring horizontal defect size. In this paper, a new ToFD method for evaluating horizontal planar defects is presented. The finite...

Diffraction of light by a focused ultrasonic wave

The measurement of the acoustic pressure of a planar ultrasonic wave by light diffraction is well established. The ability to do similar measurements in the case of spherical waves has been doubted However, we show that the range of validity can be extended to the focal region of a spherical concave piezoelectric transducer. Light is passed through the focal plane of a spherical concave transdu...
