Laser Doppler vibrometry for measuring vibration in ultrasonic transducers

M. Johansmann and G. Wirth,     Polytec GmbH, Germany

Abstract:

An experimental verification of an ultrasonic transducer or ultrasonic tool is an important design step. In this chapter we discuss laser Doppler vibrometry, which is an established experimental method for non-contact measurement of the transducer vibration amplitude and other properties. Basic measurements on a single test point are discussed as well as scanning entire surfaces and special technologies for ultra-high frequencies and for micro-structure devices.
