Abstract:
Parametric upconverter acoustic surface wave transducer exhibiting high efficiency with wide band operation. The transducer consists of a combination of two constituent transducers, one a narrow bandwidth, high efficiency transducer and the other a wide bandwidth, low efficiency transducer, coupled to produce a resultant acoustic wave of a frequency equal to the sum of the frequencies of acoustic waves supplied by the low and high efficiency transducers. By properly selecting the center frequency of the low efficiency transducer relative to center frequency of the high efficiency transducer as well as the input electric power, the efficiency of the transducer of this invention may be made greater than the efficiency of the low efficiency transducer while retaining its wide bandwidth.
Abstract:
An acoustical deflector for electromagnetic waves using a dispersive medium for propagation of the acoustic waves. That is, the thickness of the medium is approximately the wavelength lambda of the acoustic wave so that the phase velocity of the acoustic wave is a function of the acoustic wave frequency. Electromagnetic waves which interact with the acoustic wave fronts are deflected through different angles as the phase velocity of the acoustic wave changes due to frequency changes of this wave. Means are provided to excite an adjustable frequency acoustic wave in the dispersive medium.
Abstract:
2-Dimensional injection laser matrix with a number of resonators having bent ray paths has reflecting faces cutting the individual pn-junctions at angles different from 90 degrees, which further guide the radiation coming from the individual emitting pn-junctions over other reflecting faces defining the resonator ray paths or grating like structures to the emitting junction. The prodn. of the matrix and the appts. used are also claimed. The injection laser consists of closely-packed 2-dimensional units and emits light parallel to the direction of the stimulating source.
Abstract:
1530928 Acoustic wave device for scanning optical signals INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 11 Nov 1976 [29 Dec 1975] 47059/76 Heading G1G An optical signal scanner comprises a photoconductor 12 on a Piezo-electric substrate 10, an input/output transducer 15 for coupling acoustic waves to and from the substrate 10, and a further pair of electrodes 13, 14 in the region of which a line of optical dot signals is focused; when an acoustic wave from transducer 15 is co-extensive with the optical signals, an electric pulse is applied between electrodes 13, 14 thus coupling an electric field to substrate 10 whose amplitude is modulated in dependence upon the local photo-induced resistance of photo-conductor 12, and a backward acoustic wave, which is produced by the parametric interaction of the input acoustic wave and the electric field, is received by transducer 15. Electrodes 13, 14 may be replaced by interdigitated electrodes (31, 32) Fig. 4A (not shown) or by planar electrodes (20, 21) Fig. 3A (not shown), one of which is transparent, on opposite major surfaces of substrate 10. Transducer 15 is preferably a surface wave transducer.
