Wavefront visualization of bulk acoustic waves

Abstract
Bulk acoustic waves at frequencies up to several hundred megahertz and acoustic powers down to the nanowatt range have been visualized via acousto-optic Bragg diffraction. Using double-optical and electrical-heterodyne mixing, the acoustic wavefronts have been displayed over several wavelengths along the propagation path. Possible applications of the reported experiments are briefly reviewed.
