Abstract
Measurement results on CdS ultrasonic amplifiers which were operated with continuous drift fields at room temperature are presented. A material gain of 26 dB was obtained for a 200-MHz transverse-wave signal. Comparisons are made with pulsed-field data obtained from the same samples. The presence of saturation-level ultrasonic flux significantly reduces the maximum gain obtainable under continuous operation.
