ABSTRACT
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology has been widely used in sensor industry. The
laser-acoustic technique based on SAWs is a promising and creative test method. With
the development of laser-acoustic technique, more and more attention is attached to the
SAWs generated by laser beam on structures for its potential applications in material
characterization and non-destructive testing.
In the first part of research, the classic test method which used an interdigital transducer
(IDT) as excitation source was built and measured. The surface acoustic waveform is
detected at different metal substrate, different thickness of substrate and different
distances between the IDT and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film.
In the second part of research, a nitrogen laser device which is suitable for pulse laser
excitation of surface acoustic waves was brought into operation and tested. The SAW
pulses propagating on the metal substrate are detected with PVDF film and interdigital
transducer. The surface acoustic waveform is detected at different distances between the
laser focus line and the transducer.
Compared with these two different kinds of measurements with two different types of
SAW excitation, the received signal excited by laser is not as stable as the received
signal excited by IDT. The method of detecting SAWs which were excited by laser still
needs to improve in future’s research.

1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are elastic waves propagating on the surfaces of solid
media. With the development of laser ultrasonic technique, more and more attention is
attached to the surface acoustic waves generated by laser beam on structures for its
potential applications in material characterization and non-destructive testing [1]. SAW
have been utilized in electronic signal processing since the 1980s [2]. In 1965 when
White and Voltmer at the University of California developed the interdigital transducer
(IDT) which enables the generation of surface acoustic waves via electric excitation on
piezoelectric crystals [3]. Mechanically testing of near surface region is a challenge of
practical interest. Therefore, for instance the potential of the laser-acoustic technique
was investigated for testing diamond-like-carbon films down to 5 nm thickness. The
films were deposited with the pulsed arc technology on pure silicon and on silicon with
80 nm metal layer. Film thickness was measured with ellipsometry to be in the range
from 5 to 30 nm [4]. Based on acoustic waves, the material characteristics can be
measured. Usually piezoelectric interdigital transducer has to be attached at the outside
surface. Pulsed laser excitation of surface acoustic waves is a non-contact investigation
method of non-destructive testing.
The use of optical technique for the generation and detection of ultrasonic waves has
attached considerable interest in the past decade [5]. Ultrasonic methods are not limited
by the types of material under study and can be utilized for residual stress
measurements on thick samples [6]. Thus ultrasonic methods are very promising. Most
ultrasonic methods are based on the effect of acoustoelasticity [7-11]-the dependency of
the acoustic wave velocity on the value of applied stresses. There are many examples of
experimental work that demonstrate the possibility of residual stress reconstruction with
using of longitudinal [12], shear [13–14] and Rayleigh waves [15].
1.2 About my work
“Pulse laser excitation of surface acoustic waves on metallic work pieces” is the theme
of my master thesis, which was given by the Institute of Sensor and Actuator
Technology (ISAT). The aim and challenge of this topic is to build up a testing system
to excite and detect the SAWs. In the first step of research, the IDT was taken as an
excitation source for the generation of SAWs. The classic technology is one IDT as an
Pulse laser excitation of surface acoustic waves on metallic work pieces

excitation of signal source, the other IDT as a receiving transducer. There is an
important difference from the previous technology in my study, the polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF) film was selected as the receiving sensor. Then in the second step, a
laser was chosen as the signal source. It is a creative and novel method, which also has
wide perspective in the future.
The ISAT, which belongs to the Coburg University of Applied Sciences, was found by
a group of best students, working on projects with a wide variety of expert knowledge
in different fields. The main competence of ISAT is the research and development of
sensor and actuator technology based on micro-surface acoustic waves. By means of
this technology numerous applications have already been successfully implemented by
the ISAT, such as a sensor for the detection of liquid properties. The chairmen of the
ISAT are Professor Gerhard Lindner and Professor Martin Springer.
In the first chapter of this thesis, the background of surface acoustic wave technology
and laser-acoustic technology are introduced briefly. The primary theoretical
foundations are detailed presented in the second chapter. Chapter 3 shows the main
material and apparatus. In chapter 4, two set ups about SAW excitation and the general
signal processing are presented. In chapter 5 the experimental results by using two
different systems and the discussion following every experiment are showed. At the end
the conclusions and the prospect are provided in chapter 6.
