Changes of solid sample temperature, resulting from absorption of a laser beam warm up gas surrounding the sample. Changes of gas temperature are transferred into changes of its pressure, in result of thermodynamic processes in the gas filling photoacoustic cell and are detected with a microphone in a typical photoacoustic experiment.

A comparative study between fused silica and dense flint shows that at normal light incidence 52% of the light can be converted from linear to circular in the case of fused silica and only 20% in the case of dense flint. In each case the conversion appears at moderate sound amplitudes and at frequencies which are typical for the intermediate regime of diffraction. Applying oblique light incidence, most interesting effects can be obtained with fused silica at high sound frequencies which are typical for the Bragg regime of diffraction and in the neighborhood of the Bragg angle. The possibility is shown to use an AO cell fabricated of fused silica as a laser-beam splitter, converting a linearly polarized beam of light partially into a circularly polarized beam and a linearly polarized beam, the light intensity of the two beams being equal. In addition, it is seen that the temporal light intensity modulations which can be observed in the near field of the light diffracted under these specific conditions, can be understood from the polarization changes taking place.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126361584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensor material consists of two layers performed in two different vapor deposition processes. The first one is a 720 nm CuPc layer, the other one -- a 20 nm thin palladium film. This structure was formed in a one of the dual-delay line system on a LiNbO3 Y-cut Z-propagation substrate. In such a multilayer structure can detect hydrogen in a medium concentration range (from 0.25% to 3% in nitrogen), even at room temperature. The sensor has a very good sensitivity, stability and is entirely reversible. The response and recovery times are very short (approximately 200 s - 800 s), which is very important from the practical point of view.","PeriodicalId":405317,"journal":{"name":"Acousto-Optics and Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125307031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
