The experimental results of excitation of longitudinal surface acoustic waves (LSAW) in solid isotropic bodies by ruby laser pulse are presented. The dependence of generation efficiency from excitation deepness under surface of propagation was investigated. Experimental measurements confirmed that LSAWs of 1 .8 MHz frequency have maximum propagation energy in (1 .5 -2)A deepness (where A is wavelength in solid body). It was shown that using laser pulses we can generate with high efficiency LSAW from distance in solid bodies without special processing of their surfaces. The Poisson's ratio coefficient of bodies was 0.26 < o< 0.35.
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.
