X-Ray Topography Analysis of Acoustic Wave Fields in the SAW-Resonator Structures

Dmitry V. Roshchupkin, Helen D. Roshchupkina, and Dmitry V. Irzhak

ABSTRACT The formation of fields of standing surface acoustic waves (SAW) in LiNbO3 and La3Ga5SiO14 (LGS) crystals was studied by high-resolution topography method on a laboratory X-ray source. The fields of standing SAW were formed using SAW-resonator structures consisting of interdigital transducer (IDT) and reflecting gratings. The SAW amplitudes and power flow angles were measured by X-ray topography, diffraction in acoustic beam was visualized, and the SAW interaction with the crystal structure defects was studied.
