A method for a droplet transportation by jumping a obstacle on piezoelectric substrate is presented, and a device for the droplet transportation is implemented on a 128° yx-LiNbO3 piezoelectric substrate. An interdigital transducer and a reflector are fabricated on the piezoelectric substrate using microelectric technology. Hydrophobic film is coated on the area free of electrodes and a polydimethylsilicone obstacle is mounted on it. A radio frequency signal amplified by a power amplifier is applied to the interdigital transducer to generate surface acoustic wave. When the surface acoustic wave meets with the droplet on the piezoelectric substrate during transportation, part of acoustic wave enegy is radiated into the droplet, leading to internal acoustic streaming. Once the radio frequency signal with appropriate amplitude is suddenly decreased, part of the droplet will jump the obstacle due to interial force. Red dye solution drops are demonstrated for transportation experiments. Results show that a droplet can be transported from one side to another of the obstacle on piezoelectric substrate by help of surface acoustic wave. The presented method is helpful for microfluidic system on a piezoelectric substrate.

To detect underwater sound-generating targets, a water surface acoustic wave laser interference and signal demodulation technique is proposed in this paper. The underlying principle of this technique involves casting a laser beam onto the water surface disturbed by an underwater acoustic source and creating interference between lights reflected by the surface and reference lights. A data acquisition and processing system was employed to obtain water surface acoustic wave information from the interference signals by means of demodulation, thus allowing detection of the underwater target. For the purpose of this study, an interference detection platform was set up in an optical dark chamber. High-frequency water surface fluctuations were introduced in the reference optical path as the phase generated carriers to create laser interference signals in two different paths, which received demodulation based on an improved arc tangent demodulation algorithm and characteristic ratio algorithm, respectively, in view of their different frequencies. Water surface wave information was then derived from such low-frequency and high-frequency signals. According to test results, in the frequency range of 200 Hz–10 kHz, the frequency detection accuracy was better than 1 Hz. The amplitude measurements exhibited high repeatability, with a standard deviation lower than 2.5 nm. The theory proposed in this paper is therefore experimentally verified with good results.
