Wavenumber domain analysis of two-dimensional SAW images captured by phase-sensitive laser probe system.

This paper is aimed at demonstrating how the wavenumber domain analysis of two-dimensional (2-D) images captured by phase-sensitive laser probe systems is applied in the characterization of RF SAW devices. Effectiveness is demonstrated through the selective characterization of spurious resonance modes and scattered, nonguided modes appearing in SAW resonators.

Development of fast-scanning laser probe system based on knife-edge method for diagnosis of RF surface acoustic wave devices.

This paper describes the development of a high-speed laser probe system for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. A fast scanning rate of 2.5 kS/s is realized by continuous stage translation and successive acquisition of the detector output by a high-speed data-logger.
