Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the behavior of surface waves on YX lithium tantalate with varying aluminum strip heights.
  • To investigate the phenomenon of surface skimming bulk wave (SSBW) trapping by gratings.
  • To experimentally validate theoretical predictions regarding SSBW and PSAW interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a theoretical model combining analytical and numerical calculations for SAW propagation.

  • Simulated wave evolution on YX lithium tantalate with varying aluminum strip heights.
  • Designed, fabricated, and experimentally tested a device to observe predicted phenomena.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that SSBW can be trapped by gratings on YX lithium tantalate.
    • Observed that trapped SSBW can exhibit a second pseudo-SAW behavior near Bragg conditions.
    • Confirmed theoretical predictions through experimental measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • The interaction between SSBW and gratings can lead to a secondary PSAW behavior.
    • This phenomenon has implications for the design and performance of SAW devices, particularly those on LiTaO3 substrates.
    • Further investigation is needed to understand the full impact on classical devices.
