We report for the first time the observation of propagating acoustic waves from constant-overlap and apodized interdigital transducers on y-cut LiNbO3, obtained by a scanning electron microscope using the stroboscopic voltage contrast. It is the most convenient and fastest method known today of observing directly on screen the complex radiation patterns of interdigital transducers on piezoelectric substrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
