Abstract

Piezoelectrically generated acoustic transients in longitudinal KDP modulator crystals were investigated, using a photographic method developed for visualizing the acoustic waves. The method gives the possiblity of following the processes of acoustic wave propagation, the reflections of waves at the side faces of the crystal and the wave diffusion caused by crystal imperfections.
