Converging surface-acoustic waves (SAW) are generated by irradiating the inspected material with an annular-shaped pulsed laser beam. The converging-SAW pulse arrival is detected by a laser interferometer focused on the center of the annulus, where the converging effect produces a strong amplification of the ultrasonic pulse. This technique can be applied either to the detection of defects or to the characterization of the material by measuring the SAW velocity or attenuation. In this paper we present an analysis of the converging-wave propagation in order to explain some features of the detected signal, such as its shape and amplitude for different positions of the probing beam. A comparison with the signal intensities expected for a diverging as well as a collimated SAW is also presented. Applications of this technique to the characterization of anisotropic materials as well as to the detection of subsurface planar defects are presented and discussed.

AbstractMeasurements of the elastic modulus of fused silica, 6061-T6 and 7075-T651 aluminum alloys, GaAs, Ge, and Si samples are reported. A pulsed laser is used to generate surface acoustic waves in a sample and the wave velocity is measured using a knife-edge detection method. From the velocity of the surface waves the elastic modulus can be calculated.[1] Extension of this work to thin films is discusssed.
