Experiment 29 Measurement of Sound Velocity by Ultrasonic Grating 1 Experiment 29 Measurement of Sound Velocity by Ultrasonic Grating Acousto-optic effect refers to the phenomenon of diffraction when light passes through the medium disturbed by ultrasonic wave. This phenomenon is the result of the interaction between light and sound wave in the medium. As the density of liquid is modulated by ultrasonic wave, the uniform and transparent liquid becomes an "ultrasonic grating" with its refractive index changing periodically. When the light beam passes through the liquid, diffraction phenomenon happens, thus the propagation velocity of sound wave in liquid can be accurately measured. As early as 1921, L. Brillouin predicted that high-frequency sound waves in liquids make the visible light diffract. Ten years later, acousto-optic diffraction was observed by P. J. W. Debye, F. W. Sears, R. Lucas and P. Biquard, respectively. After 1960s, with the emergence of laser technology and the development of ultrasound technology, the acousto-optic effect had been widely used. For example, acousto-optic modulator and deflector can quickly and effectively control the frequency, intensity and direction of the laser beam. At present, acousto-optic effect is of great significance in the applications such as laser technology, optical signal processing and integrated communication technology. Experimental objectives 1.

Learn the method of light alignment and the usage of the reading microscopes Experimental instruments Ultrasonic signal source, low pressure sodium lamp, optical guide, optical slit, lens, ultrasonic pool, micrometer eyepiece and high-frequency wire Experimental principle Under the action of alternating electric field from high frequency power supply, piezoelectric ceramic transducer (PZT) generates periodic compression and elongation vibration, which transmits in liquid to form ultrasonic wave. Ultrasonic wave can be divided into travelling wave and standing wave. When ultrasonic waves travel in liquid, the sound pressure makes the liquid molecules change periodically. The liquid will

Experiment 29 Measurement of Sound Velocity by Ultrasonic Grating32=Amcos2元(二+二)儿Add up the two equations above:y=)+号=24gcos2元元cos2元元(29-2)Ts1According to formula 29-2, the superposition result is standing wave, and theamplitude of each point along the Z direction is 2Am cos 2/2s. It is a function of Z,changing periodically with Z but not with time. Phase 2元t/T, is a function of time t,but do not changewith space.Forthe standing wave,at a certain time t, the particlesonboth sides of a certain nodesurgeto it,makingtheareanearthis nodebecomeadense area, while the areas near the two nodes adjacent to this one becomes a sparsearea of theparticles.andthedensityoftheliquidatantinodes remains unchanged.Afterhalf of a periodic, t+T/2, the particles on both sides of this node diffuse to the left andright, making the vicinity of the node become a sparse area of the particles, the vicinityof thetwo adjacent nodesbecomesa dense areaoftheparticles,and thedensityof theliquid at antinodes remains unchanged. Figure 29-2 shows the variation curves forstanding wave shape, liquid density distribution and refractive index at the twomoments t and t+T,/2. As can be seen from the figure, at a certain moment t, thedistance between two adjacent dense regions is As, which is the wavelength of thetravelling waves in liquid. For any two points with a distance As between them, thedensity and refractive index of the liquid are the same.As shown in Figure 29-1, it can be considered that the periodic distribution of thedensity and refractive index of the liquid in the process of the light passing through theultrasonic grating has no obvious change, since the light speed is much greater than thesound speed in liquid, that is, for the light wave, the ultrasonic grating can be regardedas static. Therefore, the position of the central principal maximum of the lightdiffraction can be determined by the grating equation,dsin=ka(k =0,±l,±2,..)(29-3)Where, is thek-order diffraction angle; is the wavelength oflight wave;, d= As, thatis, the wavelength of ultrasonic wave corresponds to the grating constant. Since theangle is small, one can think of it as:

It is a function of Z, changing periodically with Z but not with time. Phase 2πt/Ts is a function of time t, but do not change with space. For the standing wave, at a certain time t, the particles on both sides of a certain node surge to it, making the area near this node become a dense area; while the areas near the two nodes adjacent to this one becomes a sparse area of the particles, and the density of the liquid at antinodes remains unchanged. After half of a periodic, t+T/2, the particles on both sides of this node diffuse to the left and right, making the vicinity of the node become a sparse area of the particles, the vicinity of the two adjacent nodes becomes a dense area of the particles, and the density of the liquid at antinodes remains unchanged. Figure 29-2 shows the variation curves for standing wave shape, liquid density distribution and refractive index at the two moments t and t+Ts/2 . As can be seen from the figure, at a certain moment t, the distance between two adjacent dense regions is λs, which is the wavelength of the travelling waves in liquid. For any two points with a distance λs between them, the density and refractive index of the liquid are the same. As shown in Figure 29-1, it can be considered that the periodic distribution of the density and refractive index of the liquid in the process of the light passing through the ultrasonic grating has no obvious change, since the light speed is much greater than the sound speed in liquid, that is, for the light wave, the ultrasonic grating can be regarded as static. Therefore, the position of the central principal maximum of the light diffraction can be determined by the grating equation, d sink = k (k = 0,1,2, ) （29- 3） Where, Φk is the k-order diffraction angle; λ is the wavelength of light wave; d = λs, that is, the wavelength of ultrasonic wave corresponds to the grating constant. Since the angle is small, one can think of it as:

Experiment 29 Measurement of Sound Velocity by Ultrasonic Grating 6 Notices 1. The surface of the PZT must be parallel to the opposite surface of the ultrasonic pool to form the standing wave. The upper cover of the ultrasonic pool should be flattened during the experiment. When the liquid level drops so much that the PZT is exposed, the liquid should be replenished to the normal level line in time. 2. The acousto-optic device should be handled with care and should not be impacted or damaged. 3. The ultrasonic signal source is not allowed to be under idle load. 4. The experiment time should not be too long, otherwise the measurement will be affected by the changing temperature of the liquid. 5. Do not touch the optical surface of the ultrasonic pool to avoid contamination. 6. After the experiment, the tested liquid should be poured out. Do not soak the PZT in liquid for a long time. 7. When the liquid contains impurities, it has a great influence on the experimental results. It is recommended to use pure water (commercial available purified drinking water), pure alcohol, glycerin, and so on. 8. When the experimental instrument is not in use for a long time, please put the micrometer eyepiece in the storage box and put the desiccant in it. The liquid tank should be cleaned and properly placed after natural drying to avoid dirt and other contaminants invade. Data processing and result analysis 1. Use the successive differential method to calculate the average spacing of the diffraction fringes. 2. Calculate the grating constant and the velocity of ultrasonic wave in water. Questions 1. The distance between adjacent two antinodes or nodes equals to half the wave length. What is the reason that the grating constant of ultrasonic grating equals to the wavelength of ultrasonic wave? 2. How is the ultrasonic grating different from the ordinary grating from the perspective of diffraction principle. 3. How do you determine the non-parallel light perpendicular to the surface of the
