Abstract

As the first step in realizing the simple and nondestructive measurement of shear waves in the GHz range, a technique involving Brillouin scattering and a ZnO shear wave transducer is proposed. Making use of transmitted shear waves, we have succeeded in observing a strong Stokes Brillouin peak in the quartz sample. This technique can be applied to the measurement of anisotropic layers and small samples.
