Abstract
This paper concerns excitation and detection of volume elastic modes with surface conducting gratings. First, the generation of volume elastic modes is analyzed along degenerate (pure) and nondegenerate mode axes. It is shown under what conditions a strong volume‐wave generation occurs. An experiment aimed at measuring coupling losses, and checking the theory, is described. The paper also includes a brief discussion of the applicability of the results to generation of volume elastic waves in a microwave region.
