OPTICAL SENSING OF ULTRASOUND

R.J. DEWHURST

Publisher page

Abstract

An overview is presented of optical techniques used to detect ultrasound propagating in solids. Typically, the sensor system may be based on a beam deflection technique, a Michelson interferometer or a Fabry-Perot interferometer. In some cases, the systems offer a flat wideband frequency response up to frequencies in excess of 100 MHz. The techniques used are non-contacting and possess none of the ultrasonic ringing characteristics associated with more conventional ultrasonic sensors. Estimates of some minimum displacement sensitivities are presented
