Abstract

Optical image scanning utilizing the transverse acoustoelectric effect induced by surface acoustic waves propagating on a basal plane of photoconductive cadmium sulfide is experimentally demonstrated. ’’Positive’’ high sensitivity is obtained by using a cadmium sulfide crystal known well to be an excellent photoconductor as well as a good piezoelectric material.
