Experimental and numerical study of Conoscopic Interferometry sensitivity for optimal acoustic pulse detection in ultrafast acoustics [PDF]

Photoacoustics, 2023
Conoscopic interferometry is a promising detection technique for ultrafast acoustics. By focusing a probe beam through a birefringent crystal before passing it through a polarizer, conoscopic interferences sculpt the spatial profile of the beam.

Broadband Response Diaphragm Materials for Human Acoustics Engineering [PDF]

Small
AbstractHigh‐performance fiber‐reinforced composite materials demonstrate great potential for manufacturing diaphragms in human‐engineered acoustic loudspeakers. However, the notable scarcity of high‐quality fibers and the uncontrollable nature of the diaphragm structure limit the production of high‐quality sound that conforms to human hearing. In this

Ultraminiature AlN diaphragm acoustic transducer [PDF]

Applied Physics Letters, 2020
Piezoelectric acoustic transducers consisting of a circular aluminum nitride and silicon nitride unimorph diaphragm and an encapsulated air-filled back cavity are reported. Analytical and finite element analysis models are used to design the transducer to achieve low minimum detectable pressure (MDP) within chosen size restrictions.

A Grating Interferometric Acoustic Sensor Based on a Flexible Polymer Diaphragm

Sensors, 2023
This study presents a grating interferometric acoustic sensor based on a flexible polymer diaphragm. A flexible-diaphragm acoustic sensor based on grating interferometry (GI) is proposed through design, fabrication and experimental demonstration. A gold-coated polyethylene terephthalate diaphragm was used for the sensor prototype.
