    Abstract

    Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been extensively used for single-point and multi-point measurements, mostly inscribed in single-mode fibers (SMFs). However, it is feasible to inscribe FBGs in multimode fibers (MMFs), which resist bending and can perform discriminative sensing of multiple physical parameters. When using a simple experimental setup to measure the temperature dependence of the dip in the transmission spectrum, significant fluctuations in its spectral power can be observed. Therefore, this study shows that the temperature-dependent spectral power fluctuations in multimode FBGs can be mitigated using a reflectometric configuration with suppressed modal interference, leading to higher-reliability temperature sensing.

    Abstract

    This study explores the impact of a micro dry-etching technique on strain sensing based on multimode interference in a perfluorinated polymer optical fiber (POF). We demonstrate a drastic shift in strain sensitivity, from +34 nm/% in a non-etched POF to -981 nm/% in the etched POF. This notable change may be attributed to the excitation of the axially asymmetrical modes in the etched POF, which is confirmed through simulation on the stress distribution across the core. In addition, a critical wavelength for multimode interference is observed in a POF.

    Abstract

    Brillouin optical correlation-domain analysis (BOCDA) utilizing low-coherence light sources offers high-resolution distributed strain and temperature sensing. However, conventional BOCDA requires dual-end injection of pump and probe light into the sensing fiber. To overcome this limitation, low-coherence Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry (BOCDR) based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering has emerged, enabling single-end light injection. While a pilot demonstration has shown a spatial resolution of 19 cm, a comparison of its measurement accuracy with standard BOCDR systems is yet to be explored. This study presents a distributed measurement with ~ 3 cm spatial resolution and demonstrates that low-coherence BOCDR eliminates systematic errors caused by direct sinusoidal modulation, offering enhanced measurement precision.

    Abstract

    We present a method for measuring the transmission loss of an optical fiber using simplified optical correlation-domain reflectometry. By intentionally lowering the spatial resolution of the system, we observe the Rayleigh scattered signal for the first time without the need for a frequency shifter. Using this method, we simultaneously measure the transmission loss, location, and loss of faulty connections along a 10 km long fiber under test by performing distributed reflected-power measurements of Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection.

The Brillouin gain spectrum is down-converted and low-pass-filtered, and its total transmitted power is used to estimate the BFS. The strain dynamic range of this method is experimentally shown to be double the value of a conventional slope-assisted method.</jats:p>

    We investigates the strain dependence of the spatial resolution in Brillouin Optical Correlation Domain Reflectometry (BOCDR) and its ability to measure smooth continuous strain distributions. We derive a spatial resolution formula including strain dependency from simulation results. Additionally, we explore the limitations of measuring smooth strain distributions, finding that rapid strain changes lead to discontinuous in measured strain distribution. The parameter of the beat spectrum's sidelobe imposes a constraint on the maximum measurable slope of the strain distribution.

    <jats:p>We characterize fiber gratings inscribed line-by-line in perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers (PFGI-POFs) for tactile sensing. First, we measure the dependence of the wideband transmitted light spectrum on the distance between the fiber grating and an object composed of metal or rubber, clarifying that the spectral power is significantly dependent on the object position in a wide wavelength range. Subsequently, we experimentally show that this behavior is caused by the light scattering at the fiber grating, indicating that PFGI-POF gratings are potentially applicable to simple low-cost tactile sensors or high-sensitivity short-range displacement sensors with no need for additional supportive tools.</jats:p>

  • Integrity assessment of turbine generator rotor wedges based on their resonance characteristics

    Language:English   Publisher:ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN  

    The integrity evaluation of the rotor wedges of turbine generators is discussed by observing the mechanical resonant frequency shift originating from cracks. We propose a simple method of obtaining the frequency response of the inspection target using point contact piezoelectric sensors and a network analyzer. Eigenmodes are identified in both experiments and finite element analysis, and frequency responses are compared. Several resonant frequencies shift to the lower side owing to the stiffness decrease caused by the crack, and the validity and effectiveness of the method are discussed. From both measurements and finite element analysis (FEA), the modes where the crack is located in the high-stress region have a more significant shift than the mode that does not. The shift was correlated between the FEA and measurement throughout most of the modes.

    Abstract

    Optical correlation-domain reflectometry (OCDR), which is known as one of the fiber-optic techniques for distributed reflectivity sensing, conventionally included an acousto-optic modulator, a reference path, and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers in its setup. In this work, by removing all of these components simultaneously, we develop a super-simplified configuration of OCDR, which consists of a light source and a photodetector only. We experimentally show that this system can still perform distributed reflectivity sensing with a moderate signal-to-noise ratio, which will boost the portability and cost efficiency of the OCDR technology.

    Abstract

    Various types of fiber-optic temperature sensors have been developed on the basis of modal interference in multimode fibers, which include not only glass fibers but also polymer optical fibers (POFs). Herein, we investigate the spectral patterns of the modal interference in multi-core POFs (originally developed for imaging) and observe their unique temperature dependencies with no clear frequency shift or critical wavelength. We then show that, by machine learning, the modal interference in the multi-core POFs can be potentially used for highly accurate temperature sensing with an error of ∼0.3 °C.

    <title>Abstract</title>
    A variety of fiber-optic temperature sensors based on inline Mach–Zehnder interferometry (MZI) have been implemented for their ease of fabrication and cost efficiency, but it is difficult to control the length of the sensing area (i.e. the fiber section with sensitivity). Herein, we develop a new temperature sensor based on inline MZI by connecting two single-mode fibers (SMFs) with different mode-field diameters and by applying a load to one of the SMFs. The fiber section between the connector and the load operates as the sensing area, the length of which can be dynamically controlled by changing the load position.

    Abstract

    A method to estimate orientation direction of liquid crystal molecules three-dimensionally under ultrasound excitation was proposed and the relationship between the ultrasound vibration and the molecular orientation was discussed. Our group have reported a technique to control orientation direction of liquid crystal molecules using ultrasound vibration which could be applied to an optical variable-focus liquid crystal lens. The lens consisted of a liquid crystal layer sandwiched by two glass circular discs and a piezoelectric ring. Ultrasound vibration induces change in the refractive index of the lens, enabling the variable-focus function. The three-dimensional orientation direction of the liquid crystal molecules in the lens was predicted from the transmitted light distributions under the crossed Nicol conditions. The liquid crystal molecules were inclined from vertical alignment by the ultrasound vibration, and larger ultrasound vibration gave larger inclination of the molecules. There was a strong correlation between the distributions of ultrasound vibration and the liquid crystal molecular orientation; the molecular orientation was changed remarkably between the antinodal and nodal parts of the ultrasound flexural vibration on the glass plate and the molecules aligned towards the antinode.

    Small ultrasonic motors are driven by the oscillation of piezoelectric transducers. They are primarily applied to equipment components that require precise movements, such as drivers for auto-focus lenses in cameras, and actuators in robots and positioning devices. While lubrication has been proven effective in improving the performance of ultrasonic motors, the friction materials still play a significant role. In this study, the suitability of four different engineering ceramics, which included alumina (Al2O3), zirconia (ZrO2), silicon carbide (SiC), and silicon nitride (Si3N4), were investigated in the self-mated configuration. By testing the candidate materials in the actual ultrasonic motor configuration, the main wear mechanisms of these ceramics were identified under lubricated conditions, with fracture being the most dominant contributor to their wear. Among the four tested ceramics, ZrO2 was found to be the most promising material as it exhibited the mildest wear and a satisfactory level of friction. The obtained results also indicate that the fracture toughness of ceramics is more critical than their hardness. This study provides guidelines for selecting friction materials that can be used in long-lived, lubricated ultrasonic motors. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Can lubricant enhance the torque of ultrasonic motors? An experimental investigation Reviewed

    Lubrication has been proven to be an effective approach to drastically improve the efficiency of ultrasonic motors without losing the output torque. This phenomenon is attributed to the effective modulation of the friction force by lubricant, according to the theory described in the Stribeck curve. Previous findings even show a potential to increase the motor output torque with lubrication. Here, the torque enhancement of ultrasonic motors using lubricant is extensively studied in hybrid transducer-type ultrasonic motors (HTUSMs) with a size of 25mm in diameter. The lubricated HTUSMs could withstand static preload as high as 267N and maximum torque as large as 1.01N m was obtained with lubrication, which were 3.5 times and 2.6 times higher than those in dry condition, respectively. This result clearly reveals that lubrication can enable ultrasonic motors to be operated under much higher static preload and hence significantly improve the motor output torque, instead of only reducing the friction force.

    This paper details the fabrication and performance evaluation of an inline Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) consisting of a perfluorinated graded-index plastic optical fiber fabricated via a heat-and-pull tapering technique. This MZI exhibits interference fringes that are sufficiently sharp for usage as refractive-index (RI) and strain sensors. These interference fringes shift linearly with the RI of the surrounding medium, with a proportionality constant of 3.44 nm/RI unit. The measured strain sensitivity of 0.2 pm/mu epsilon suggests that the MZI may be viable for strain-sensing applications. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    A new method of splicing polymer optical fibres by irradiation of megahertz ultrasonic waves is demonstrated. The lowest connection loss of 1.5 dB is obtained at 2 MHz, and a high mechanical strength of 59 N (close to the strength of the base polymer) is achieved at 1 MHz. It is shown that the loss and strength are in a trade-off relationship, and that the duration of ultrasonic irradiation has a certain optimal value of similar to 1 s.

    A bidirectional non-contact rotary motor using a piezoelectric torsional vibrator and the giant electrorheological (GER) fluid is described in this paper. By applying the dynamic electric signal with a square waveform to the GER fluid, which is in phase with the vibration velocity of the torsional vibrator, bidirectional rotation at an excitation frequency of 118 Hz is achieved. This motor generates 1.04 mN m torque when the electric field strength of 2 kV/mm with 30% duty cycle is applied to the GER fluid, and the rotational speed of up to 7.14 rad/s is achieved if the electric field strength is increased to 2.5 kV/mm. Similarities and differences of the motor characteristics between this motor and the conventional standing wave ultrasonic motors are discussed. The motor performance is not ideal under high electric field strength, indicating that the response time of the GER fluid is dependent on the electric field strength. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

    It has been experimentally shown that by utilising the Fresnel-reflected light as the reference light, Brillouin signals in polymer optical fibres (POFs) can be observed with a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) than those measured with standard self-heterodyne detection. This method is basically the same in setup as direct detection, leading to an additional advantage of system simplicity. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that the Brillouin signal in a 1 cm-long POF can be observed with a moderate SNR using this technique, indicating a potential feasibility of POF-based distributed Brillouin measurement with a millimetre-order spatial resolution.

  • Enhancement of Brillouin Scattering Signal in Perfluorinated Graded-Index Polymer Optical Fibers Invited Reviewed

    Language:English   Publisher:MDPI AG  

    Perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers (PFGI-POFs), fabricated by replacing the hydrogen atoms of standard polymethyl methacrylate-based POFs with fluorine atoms, have been extensively studied due to their relatively low propagation loss even at telecommunication wavelength. Recently, Brillouin scattering, which is one of the most significant nonlinear effects in optical fibers, has been successfully observed in PFGI-POFs at 1.55-mu m wavelength. The Brillouin Stokes signal was, however, not large enough for practical applications or for detailed investigations of the Brillouin properties. In this paper, we review our recent work on Stokes signal enhancement. First, we induce stimulated Brillouin scattering based on the so-called pump-probe technique, and discuss its applicability to temperature sensors. Then, we investigate the influence of the core diameter and length of PFGI-POFs on Stokes signal, and observe the Brillouin linewidth narrowing effect. We believe our work is an important technological step toward the implementation of practical Brillouin-based devices and systems including distributed strain and temperature sensors.

    Many studies about structural intensity (SI) measurement, which is useful to know transmission paths of the vibration energy in a body, have been reported. Most of the works, however, have been done only for thin bodies, such as beams or plates because of the difficulty in measuring interior vibration distribution in thick structures. In this paper, a new SI measurement method applicable to thick bodies is proposed. In the method, the entire vibration distribution in the structure is estimated form limited number of the measured partial surface vibration data with the aid of dynamic analysis of finite element method (FEM). The entire SI distribution is calculated using the estimated vibration and stress distributions. Several SI measurements for thick vibrating bodies have been successfully carried out by the proposed method.

    We developed strain and temperature sensors based on multimode interference in perfluorinated graded-index (GI) plastic optical fibers, and investigate their sensing performance at 1300 nm. At room temperature, we achieve ultra-high sensitivities of strain and temperature of -112 pm/με and +49.8 nm/℃/m, the absolute value of which are approximately 7.2 and over 1800 times as large as those in silica GI multimode fibers, respectively. We also find that the temperature sensitivity is drastically enhanced with increasing temperature toward 〜80 ℃, where phase transition of core polymer partially occurs.

    We designed and fabricated high power airborne ultrasonic transducers for one-dimensional phased array system. The transducer has higher-mode bending vibration, where a phase-compensating stepped structure was employed to obtain high vibration amplitude over a wide aperture. The element transducer showed the radiation characteristics with the full width at half maximum of 14.3 degrees, the sidelobe level of 0.78, and the sound pressure of 132 dB (0 dB re. 0.02 mPa), respectively. We also measured the beam steering characteristics as a phased array transducer using four of the developed elements.

    An optical lens array is used various field such as camera modules and liquid crystal displays. In this report, a new fabrication technique of a lens array was proposed using ultraviolet curable resin and ultrasound vibration, and the hardening characteristics of the gel were investigated. An ultraviolet curable gel film was formed on a glass plate having four PZT transducers. By exciting the transducers, the lattice flexural vibration was generated on the glass plate. The acoustic radiation force that correlates to the vibration mode was generated to the gel surface, and the gel was deformed. The lens array could be formed for 20 minutes under ultraviolet light irradiation with keeping the deformation. The quality factor of the transducer resonance was measured in order to investigate the curing of resin, and the quality factor decreases with time. It was found that the gel acts as the damper and additional mass as the lens array was formed.

    An optical lens array that can change the focal length and lens pitch is investigated. The lens array has a simple structure that consists of a glass plate, four ultrasound transducers and transparent viscoelastic silicone gel. The lens array can be formed by the acoustic radiation force radiated from the lattice flexural vibration of the glass plate. The configuration of the glass plate and the ultrasound transducers were determined through finite element analysis. On the prototype, the lens array could be formed and the lens pitch could be controlled discretely at the resonance frequency of the glass plate. The variation of the lens height in the array was measured, and the relationship between the variation and the vibrational distribution of the glass plate was investigated. The distribution of the transmitted light was calculated by ray tracing for a lens excited with several input voltages. The focal length could be controlled by varying the transducer input voltage so that the lens functions as a variable-focus lens.

    Measurement of distributed force is highly demanded in various fields such as robotics. Flexible and non-metal sensor configuration is often required in these applications. In this report, a distributed sensing method using an elastic tube, a small loud speaker and a microphone has been proposed, where the position of deformation along the tube can be found from the acoustic characteristics of the tube. Basic properties of the distributed sensor were studied using a 1.2-m long resin elastic tube of 10 mm in inner diameter. The distribution of deformation was estimated from the frequency responses measured at one end of the tube with white noise excitation. The position of deformation was successfully detected from the Fourier transform of the frequency response. It was also proved that two separate deformed parts were able to be discriminated.

    Brillouin distributed temperature and strain fiber-optic sensors have been widely studied for large-scale structural health monitoring. Although various methods have been developed to improve their performance, the measurement range, sensitivity, and signal-to-noise ratio are, in some cases, limited by the inherent propagation loss of the optical fibers. To overcome this problem, we have focused on utilizing Brillouin scattering in an erbium-doped fiber (EDF), which has the optical amplification capability. In this work, first, the Brillouin gain spectra of EDFs with three different concentrations are measured, and the Brillouin frequency shift dependences on temperature and strain along with their relations to erbium-doping concentration are fully investigated. Then, we measure the amplification effect of the Brillouin signal in one of the EDFs by 980-nm pumping. The Brillouin Stokes power is exponentially raised with increasing 980-nm pump power, indicating that adjusting the 980-nm pump power can control the Brillouin signal in the EDF. We also show that drastic enhancement of the Brillouin signal might be feasible by using a high-power 980-nm pump laser.

    In endoscopic elastography, it is needed to observe small area with high spatial resolution. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the candidate imaging methods suitable for this purpose. We try to find the propagation velocity of surface acoustic wave (SAW) using a swept-source OCT (SS-OCT). A theory to estimate SAW velocity is developed for tissues ranging from 1 to 20 m/s using data taken by the slow lateral scanning of less than 1 m/s Vibrations are excited on the agar sample surface using a small stick connected to a loudspeaker. The measurements are carried out at many frequencies from 500 Hz to 1000 Hz .The dependence of the SAW velocity on the concentration of the samples successfully agreed with the previous results. The present method has been applied for several tissue samples.

    Noncontact ultrasonic dispensing of a single droplet is demonstrated for the first time by using a hole on a half-cylindrical reflector. The droplet is found to fall freely through the hole with no influence of residual acoustic field shortly after the vibration is stopped. The maximum diameter of a levitatable droplet is measured as a function of the hole diameter, which clarifies that the optimal hole diameter from the viewpoint of power consumption is approximately 7 mm in this setup. This value is also confirmed to be suitable from the simulation result on the acoustic radiation force applied to the droplet.

    This report investigates the destruction property of biocompatible poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microcapsules under ultrasound irradiation, and the release of inner substance through the capsule destruction is quantitatively evaluated. PLLA microcapsules with the diameter of 1 to 45μm were fabricated by double emulsion method. The capsules have trilaminar structure: an air bubble coated with a red fluorescent dye, which is substitute for drug, is surrounded by a PLLA spherical shell. The shell thickness was distributed from 100nm to 3μm and the hollow rate of capsules was estimated to be 75% to 97%. The frequency dependence of the capsule destruction was investigated in water tank by irradiating continuous sound wave with 400kPa at several frequencies from 700kHz to 2MHz. The capsules with the resonance size were significantly destroyed: they were 30, 25, and 20μm at 700kHz, 1, and 2 MHz, respectively. Through the capsule destruction by the high-intensity ultrasound, the inner dye was gradually released and most of the inner dye has been released for 60 seconds. The vibration of the inner bubble synchronized with the driving ultrasound will assist the release of the inner dye form the ruptured shell.

    We characterize the Brillouin gain spectra (BGS) in perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers (PFGI-POFs) at 1.32 and 1.55μm. Three kinds of PFGI-POFs having the same core diameter but fabricated by different manufacturers are tested. For all the PFGI-POFs, the Stokes power measured at 1.32μm is higher than that at 1.55μm due to the lower propagation loss, but significant difference in Stokes power is observed among the three. Based on the measurement by optical time-domain reflectometry, we show that the actual propagation loss of the PFGI-POFs plays a crucial role in observing BGS.

    It was investigated how the wettability of solid surface affects the oscillation of an attached bubble in ultrasonic field, by using simultaneous observation system with a high-speed video camera and a laser Doppler vibrometer. Glass and silicon were used as wall material. The observation was performed when a single bubble was fixed in an acoustic standing wave with a frequency of 28 kHz. The initial bubble radius was ranged from 60 mm to 160 mm. We investigated how bubble oscillation depended on driving sound pressure. The investigation shows the following two results, i) The amplitude of fundamental component (27 kHz) of displacement waveform linearly increased with the increase of sound pressure and reached to its maximum at a certain sound pressure. When the driving pressure was larger than the threshold pressure, the amplitude of the fundamental component decreased, ii) Sub-harmonic component was generated in the sound pressure region where the amplitude of fundamental component decreased. In such case, non-spherical oscillation mode always appeared. In addition, we observed the effect of wettability on bubble oscillation. When the sound pressure was small, the bubble surface fluctuation with very small amplitude was observed only in the case of the silicon wall. This result implies that the non-spherical oscillation easily occur when the contact angle between bubble and solid surface is larger.

    Ultrasonic atomization has been utilized as an inhaler and a humidifier since it can generate mist with particle size of several um or around 10 μm without elevating temperature. However, it is difficult to produce a large amount of fine mist, because there is an inverse proportionality between the driving frequency and the particle size. High frequency transducer of MHz region can produce fine mist, but its radiation surface is too small to process a large volume. Until now, various studies have been performed for increasing the volume with keeping the samll particle size. In this report, we investigated an ultrasonic atomization principle using a small gap between a vibrating surface and a rigid wall. The particle size in the method is determined mainly by the gap and is smaller than that in the conventional dependence on the driving frequency. A relationship between the gap and the particle size is experimentally studied in the prototype. A large volume of small particles of around 10 μm of diameter can be produced by the vibrating gap even at lower frequencies in several 10 kHz.

    A liquid lens was fabricated whose focal point can be varied in the axial and radial directions. We have been developing a variable-focus liquid lens that employs acoustic radiation force and does not contain any mechanical moving parts. Our liquid lens is more compact and has a faster response than conventional mechanical lenses. Rapid scanning of its focus at 1 kHz has been realized by exciting by an amplitude modulation signal. The liquid lens consists of a cylindrical acrylic cell (inner diameter: 10 mm; thickness: 3 mm), two immiscible liquids with different refractive indices (water and silicone oil), and an annular piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate transducer with four electrodes. The oil-water interface functions as a lens surface and it can be deformed by the acoustic radiation force generated by the transducer; this enables the lens to act as a variable-focus lens. The variation of the oil-water interface was observed by optical coherence tomography. The laser beam path through the lens was calculated by ray-tracing simulations. The oil-water interface could be deformed and its focal point could be varied in three dimensions by controlling the input voltages of the PZT electrodes. The displacement angle in the radial direction was approximately 3° when two of the electrodes were excited by an input voltage of 45 V at a frequency of 1.9 MHz. The dynamic performance of the lens was investigated using a high-speed camera. Exciting by AM signals with a phase difference caused the hemispherical water droplet to oscillate, enabling the focus to be scanned in the axial and radial directions.

    Hollow microcapsules with a biocmpatible shell of polylactate acid were fablicated through double emulsion method and the size controll of the capsule was investigated. It was found that capsule diameter significantly dependeds on the rotation speed in the fabrication process. The capsule diameter became smaller with increase of the rotation spped and could be controlled within the range of several mm 50 μm. It was attemppted to observe the vibration and collapse of the hollow capsules. The measurement of vibration by using a laser Doppler vibrometer(LDV) revealed that the displacement amplitude was ranged in several tens nm at the frequency 1 MHz and the sound pressure of 100 kPa. The capsule destruction was investigated using focused ultrasound at 2 MHz, and the capsules with diameter of approximately 50 μm was effectively destroyed.

    Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber (POF) with 120-μm core diameter was experimentally observed for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, at 1.55-μm wavelength with pump-probe technique. Compared to spontaneous Brillouin scattering previously reported, the Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS) was detected with extremely high signal-to-noise ratio, even with a short POF (1 m) and scrambled polarization state. We also investigated the BGS dependences on probe power and temperature, which indicate that SBS in a POF measured with this technique can be utilized to develop high-accuracy temperature sensing systems.

    A high efficiency hybrid transducer-type ultrasonic motor (HTUSM) was successfully developed by using appropriate lubricant and friction materials. The maximum conversion efficiency from the electric power of the torsional transducer to the mechanical output was improved to 85% when high traction fluid of 32 cSt viscosity was used under 100-MPa static preload, and over 80% high maximum efficiency was achieved stably. The combination of alumina for stator and silicone nitride for rotor was the best match of all the friction materials we tested. The effects of different lubricants under the same static preload were also discussed in detail.

    Switch of transport direction and junction in a noncontact ultrasonic transporter is discussed. A 0.5-mm-thick aluminum circular plate with a diameter of 30 mm was employed as a vibrating plate and a 0.5-mm-thick piezoelectric ring was attached to the vibrating plate by epoxy. The configuration of the vibrator was determined through a finite element analysis (FEA) so that (1, 4) and (2, 3) fiexural vibration modes were generated at 47.8 and 64.9 kHz, respectively, using divided electrodes. The (1, 4) fiexural mode enables noncontact trapping and transportation of a small object in the circumferential direction, and the (2, 3) mode assists the transfer through a junction. The reflecting plate was installed parallel to the vibrator with a distance of approximately 5 mm to generate an acoustic standing wave in air between them. The acoustic field between the vibrator and reflector was calculated via the FEA, and the distribution of the acoustic radiation force acting to a small rigid particle was calculated to predict the trapped position of the particle and the direction of ejection. By using a prototype of the vibrating plate, polystyrene particles with the diameter of several millimeters could be ejected in the radial direction between the vibrator and reflector by changing the vibration mode. The ejecting force acting on the particle in the horizontal direction was estimated to be 3.51×10^<-6> N.

    We constructed the experimental system with a laser Doppler vibrometer for measuring the vibration of a single microbubble in an ultrasonic field. We tried to experimentally measure the linear resonant characteristics of a bubble attached to glass by using the system. It was demonstrated that the vibration amplitude of nanometer order could be captured. Thus, we succeeded in measuring the linear resonance characteristics and evaluated Q factor and the resonant radius at driving frequency of 27.8 kHz. The experimentally evaluated values were smaller than that predicted by the theory for a single free bubble. The difference possibly resulted from the effect of the wall to which a bubble was attached. Our experimental results indicate that LDV measurement system is effective tool for evaluating bubble vibration with very small displacement amplitude. This system will enable to investigate detail characteristics of bubble vibration, such as the effect of the wall on the vibration of the attached bubble.

    A compact, high-speed variable-focus liquid lens using acoustic radiation force is proposed. The lens consists of an annular piezoelectric ultrasound transducer and an aluminum cell (height: 3 mm; diameter: 6 mm) filled with degassed water and silicone oil. The profile of the oil-water interface can be rapidly varied by applying acoustic radiation force from the transducer, allowing the liquid lens to be operated as a variable-focus lens. A theoretical model based on a spring-mass-dashpot model is proposed for the vibration of the lens. The sound pressure distribution in the lens was calculated by finite element analysis and it suggests that an acoustic standing wave is generated in the lens. The fastest response time of 6.7 ms was obtained with silicone oil with a kinematic viscosity 100 cSt.

    Brillouin scattering properties in a perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber(POF)with 120-μm core diameter were experimentally investigated for the first time using a laser with an operating wavelength of 1.55 μm. The Brillouin frequency shift and the Brillouin bandwidth were 2.83 GHz and 105 MHz, respectively. The calculated Brillouin gain coefficient of 3.09×10^<-11> m/W was comparable to that of fused silica fibers. The Brillouin threshold power of the 100-m POF was estimated to be 24 W, which we believe can be reduced by employing POFs with smaller cores.

    We investigate optical coherence elastography with micro-scale resolution using acoustic radiation force. Viscoelastic tissue is assumed as Kelvin-Voigt model using a spring and a dashpot with elastic modulus and coefficient of viscosity. Stress is caused in the tissue with the use of acoustic radiation force which is induced by a difference of acoustic energy density at the interface of the propagating media. The deformation of the tissue sample is measured by the swept source optical coherence tomography with the depth scanning rate of 20 kHz and the depth resolution of 9 um. The displacement and the strain are calculated with the cross-correlation detection using the images before and after applying the force. The strain is slowly relaxed after removal of the force, and the time-varying curve is theoretically-modeled. We demonstrated the measurement and the imaging of viscoelastic characteristics.

The transducer has independent electrode sets for the 1^<st> longitudinal mode and the 2^<nd> bending mode. The optimal shape and area of the electrodes were investigated. The transducer with optimal electrode pattern gave the reduction temperature rise in motor operation. The driving characteristics of the trial motor were examined experimentally. It was confirmed that the speed characteristics of the motor was linear and constrained dead-zone.

    Measurement of a single capsule vibration was conducted by using two different methods. One is the method using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). The other is the method which solves the vibrational amplitude from the acoustic force in a standing wave. By using LDV, capsule vibration could be measured and the value of the vibrational amplitude was around 100 nm. Meanwhile, the vibrational amplitude solved by using the principal of microcapsule trapping was about 50-200 nm which conformed to the value measured by LDV. It suggests that the methods above can be an effective way to measure the vibrational amplitude of microcapsules.

    Noncontact ultrasonic particle manipulation with a circular trajectory is discussed. The authors have been investigating the noncontact ultrasonic transportation technique of small objects over long distances using a bending vibration plate and reflector. In the technique, the lattice ultrasound standing-wave filed could be generated between the vibrating plate and a reflector, and small particles could be trapped and manipulated with a straight motion. In this paper, the noncontact transportation of small particles with a circular trajectory was investigated. A 0.5-mm-thick aluminum circular plate with a diameter of 30 mm was employed as a vibrating plate and a 0.5-mm-thick piezoelectric ring was attached to the vibrating plate by epoxy. Being based on the calculated result by a finite element analysis (FEA), the electrodes of piezoelectric ring were divided to 24 pieces to generate a flexural vibration mode with one nodal circle and four nodal lines at the resonance frequency of 47.8 kHz. A circular plate with the same dimension as the vibrating plate was installed parallel to the vibrator with a distance of approximately 5 mm as a reflector to generate an acoustic standing wave in air between them. The acoustic field between the vibrating plate and reflector was calculated via the FEA, and the distribution of the acoustic radiation force acting to a small rigid particle was calculated to predict the position of the trapped particle. By using a prototype of the vibrating plate, polystyrene particles with the diameter of several millimeters could be trapped at the horizontal nodal line of the standing wave with a regular interval. The sound pressure distribution between the vibrating plate and reflector was measured by a fiber optic probe, and the experimental and computed results showed good agreements. By shifting the driving condition of the divided electrodes along the circumferential direction, the nodal lines of the vibrating plate was rotated, and the trapped particle in air could be manipulated with a circular trajectory.

    For replacing samll air cylinders less than 10mm in diameter, we investigated miniaturization of ultrasonic linear motor, exploring long-life micro linear actuators. Standing wave type has the problem of short life for its small contact area. It is not difficult to enlarge the contact area in traveling wave type. Two transducers are utilized for previous traveling wave type ultrasonic linear motors. In this study, bimorph structure is utilized for miniaturization. The method to excite traveling wave along the bar is to give phase difference between the both sides of transducers. The temporal and spatial phase conditions for exciting traveling waves in both directions are noted. The vibration bar consists of 6mm-square aluminum bar and 4 thin PZT plates bonding to both sides 10mm away from the bar end. Being based on the preliminary experiments using the bar acoustically terminated by an absorber attached to the end, the driving conditions were determined such as frequency. Phase difference of 150° and 210° were experimentally obtained to excite traveling wave to the both directions. Out-of-plane vibration velocity of 85mm/s and in-plane vibration velocity of 23mm/s were measured by laser Doppler velocimetry with voltage of 350V_<pp>. The movement of the slider in the both direction was confirmed and the slider velocity of from 5mm/s to 10mm/s was achieved.

    We developed the multiple resonance transducer formed by different thickness layers. We measured ultrasonic wave radiated from the transducer at focal point, and performed frequency analysis. From the result, intense responses were obtained at frequencies 1.5MHz, 3MHz, 4.5MHz, 6MHz and 7.5MHz. Ultrasonic beams at such frequencies were measured. To confirm the validity of the proposed method, we carried out imaging for gel-phantom and pork. As a result, B-mode images of multiple frequencies are successfully obtained by using the transducer and speckle reduction is confirmed by superposing the resultant images.

    Ultrasonic manipulation of small particles including a liquid droplet for a long distance is discussed. It is well known that a particle, which is much smaller than a wavelength of acoustic standing wave, can be trapped at the nodal points. The experimental setup consists of a 3-mm-thick and 605-mm-long duralumin bending vibrating plate and a reflector. Two bolt-clamped Langevin type transducers with horns were attached on the both sides of the vibrating plate to generate the flexural vibration along the plate. The plane reflector with the same dimension as the vibrator is installed parallel to the vibrating plate with the distance of approximately 17mm to generate an ultrasonic standing wave between them and trap the small particles along the nodal lines. The acoustic field and the acoustic radiation force between the plate and reflector were calculated through the finite element analysis (FEA) to predict the trapped position of the particles. The sound pressure distribution was measured experimentally by using a scanning laser Doppler vibrometer. By controlling the driving phase difference between the two transducers, the flexural traveling wave can be generated along the vibrating plate, and the vertical nodal lines of standing wave and the trapped particles can be moved. The flexural wave was excited along the plate at 22.5kHz. The lattice standing wave with the wavelength of 36mm in the length direction could be excited between the plate and reflector, and foam polystyrene particles with the radii of several mm could be trapped at the node lines of standing wave. The experimental and calculated results showed a good agreement on the relationship between the driving phase difference and the trapped position of the particles. The noncontact transportation of the trapped particles for a long distance could be achieved by changing the driving phase difference: the trapped position of particles can be controlled as 0.046mm/deg. An ethanol droplet could be also trapped and moved.

    We present a highly sensitive configuration for measuring magnetic fields using ultrasonic vibrations. High permeability material is vibrated near a pick-up coil at ultrasonic frequency using a piezoelectric transducer. A sinusoidal voltage proportional to the applied magnetic field is induced at the pick-up coil due to the modulation in the effective permeability in the coil. Being based on this principle, a high sensitivity as much as SQUID is expected. In this report, we experimentally evaluate the characteristics of prototype vibrators working at 26kHz and 98kHz, and discuss on the sensitivity. The sensitivity of 8.21V/G is obtained using an electric resonance. Assuming the thermal noise, the minimum detectable limit is estimated to be 10^<-8>G which is as low as brain magnetic field intensity. If the applied magnetic field is AC, the sensor gives signals whose frequencies are difference and addition of the magnetic field frequency and the vibration's frequency. Some examples of the measured results of the AC field are presented.

    Resonance frequency of a flexural vibrating rod is lowered by immersing the rod into fluid, because of the mass effect of the fluid acting on the rod. The authors have previously proposed to utilize the phenomena for liquid level meter. This report presents the development of electronic circuits for extracting the motional current and tracking the resonance frequency using the PLL (phase-locked-loop) scheme. The working principle of measuring liquid level, practical configuration of the vibrating rod, PLL circuit and the performance test as a level meter are described in this report. The rod is mounted in a screw to install into a shielded liquid gas cylinder. Two rectangular piezoelectric elements are bonded at the one end of the rod, which is located outside the cylinder and excite the flexural vibration in the rod via the screw. The phase of the motional current detected by a bridge circuit using an operation amplifier is compared with the driving voltage so that the frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator may track the resonance of the rod. The measurement characteristics of the stainless steel rods of 475mm in length and 6mm in diameter are evaluated. Error was 1-2% from the linear line.

    An ultrasonic air pump using a vibrator and a reflector was discussed. The ultrasonic air pump consists of the bending vibrator with the PZT element and the reflector paralleled to the vibrator with the small air gap. The intense sound pressure field can be generated in the air gap between the vibrator and the reflector by generating the bending vibration on the vibrator, and the air flow can be eventually induced along the air gap. In this report, a method for generating the large sound pressure in the air gap by corresponding the resonance frequencies of the vibrator and the air layer was investigated. The vibrator consists of a 20-mm-length and 30-mm-width aluminum plate and a rectangular PZT element, and the fundamental bending vibration was generated in the length direction of the vibrator. The acrylic plate was paralleled as the reflector with the small distance of 1 mm compared with the wavelength in air. By using the designed prototypes of the vibrator, the sound pressure distributions in the air gap were measured at each resonance frequency. It was found the larger sound pressure can be generated in the air gap with the larger correlation between the vibration mode of the vibrator and the sound pressure distribution. The maximum flow velocity of 0.23 m/s, which is 1.4 times larger than the previous design, could be obtained at the frequency of 26.2 kHz with the vibrator having the thickness of 2 mm. The relationship between the sound pressure distribution and the configuration of the reflector was also investigated, and the one-way air flow could be achieved with the vibrator having the asymmetric configuration in the length direction.

    Here we propose a novel measuring method of the liquid level in a water tank using the flexural vibration in a cylindrical rod and a rectangular beam. In this method, the liquid level in the cylinder can be estimated by inserting the vibrating rod. With changing the water level, the frequency response of the vibrating rod is also changed due to the change of its radiation impedance. The flexural vibration along the rod can be generated by a piezoelectric zirconate titanate (PZT) elements attached on the end of the rod. The size of the vibrating rod and PZT elements were determined via the finite element analysis (FEA) so as to maximize the vibration displacement amplitude of the rod. In the FEA model considering the changing the water level. The experiments were carried out with several configurations designed by the FEA. By sweeping the driving frequency from 5 to 7kHz, the frequency characteristics of the vibrating rod could be obtained, and the experimental results showed good agreements with the calculated result by FEA. In this frequency range, there were several resonance frequencies at which the flexural standing wave along the rod could be excited. The frequency responses of the rod with several water levels were measured, and it was found that the water level could be estimated uniquely in the water level range of 0 to 1550mm.

    A standing wave type slider for a self-running ultrasonically levitated linear stage is discussed. The slider can be levitated and moved using the acoustic radiation force and the acoustic streaming. The slider has the simple configuration : it consists of an aluminum vibrating plate and a PZT element. The configuration of the slider was determined via the harmonic analysis results of the FEA (Finite Elemental Analysis) to obtain the large asymmetric vibration distribution for the high thrust and levitation performance. As a preliminary step, the computed result of the sound pressure distribution in the 1-mm air gap by the FEA was compared with the experimental results using the fiber optic probe. The direction of the total driving force for the acoustic streaming in the small air gap was estimated by the sound pressure distribution calculated by the FEA, and it was found that the direction of the acoustic streaming could be switched by controlling the vibration mode of the slider. The flexural standing wave could be generated along the vibrating plate near the predicted frequencies by the FEA results. The slider could be levitated by the acoustic radiation force radiated from own vibrating plate at several frequencies. The slider could be moved in the negative and positive direction at 68 and 69kHz, which correspond to the computed results by FEA, with the asymmetric vibrating distribution of the slider's vibrating plate. The larger thrust could be obtained with the smaller levitation distance, and the maximum thrust was 19mN.

    Recently, piezo-electric vibration devices such as SAW devices and thin film resonators are intensively developed for mobile phone, wireless LAN and wireless ID tag. Measurements of the high frequency vibrations ranging from 100 MHz to 5 GHz is essential in the developments of these devices. Among the various kinds of optical vibration measurement methods, laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) is useful because of its high sensitivity and quantitative measurement capability in vibration amplitude both in normal and in-plane components. However, the LDV system needs an acousto-optic-modulator (AOM) to generate a frequency shift in the reference light of the interferometer. The highest usable frequency of the LDV is limited by the shift frequency in the heterodyne interferometer, and is less than 100 MHz since the AOM working at over 1 GHz is not practically obtained. This study proposes a new configuration for the LDV using an electro-optic phase modulator and a fiber Bragg grating filter for generating a 10-GHz shift frequency in the reference light of the heterodyne system. First, in this report, the 10-GHz optical frequency shifter is explained, and its operation is experimentally confirmed. Second, the accuracy of the quantitative measurements of vibration displacement amplitude is evaluated by comparing with a commercial LDV at a low frequency. Third, we demonstrate the two-dimensional visualization of a SAW propagation of 50 MHz using an all-fiber-optic prototype system.

    Three-axis accelerometer has been increasingly built into electronic devises. The major principles for the current three-axis accelerometers are based on piezoresistance effect or capacitance change, which are achieved through MEMS fabrication technique. Piezoelectric effect has advantages over these principles such as voltage-output and simple structure. Especially, piezoelectric polymer material shows high durability against impact. We have been investigating polyurea film, which is fabricated through vapor deposition process. The deposition process enables us to control the film thickness and shape. In this report, we explore the possibility of three-axis piezoelectric accelerometer using polyura film and test the characteristics. First, we make a one-axis piezoelectric accelerometer using polyurea film attached on a metal cantilever and measure the responses to an impact and vibratory accelerations. The sensitivity and the resonant frequency were 10mV/g and 320Hz, respectively. Second, to prove the proposed configuration, we examine a three-axis piezoelectric accelerometer using a PZT ring. We successfully obtained the impact and vibration acceleration responses for each of the three orthogonal directions.

    Open-type headphone and tube earphone, that have few effects on the acoustic characteristics in the ear canal, have been studied in the field of sound localization systems. The tube earphone consists of dynamic earphone and silicon tube, whose inner diameter is 0.7 mm. It is inserted into the ear canal so that we can hear the both of virtual sound and ambient sound. In this report, we suggest a thin film earphone using polyurea piezoelectric film. It enables us to hear the both sound more efficiently without obstructing the sound characteristics in the ear canal. Polyurea has useful characteristics such as workability, thermal shock properties, and flexibility. First, the fabrication method of the thin film earphone using polyurea film is discussed. Second, the frequency responses and the vibrational distribution of the film earphone are measured. The effect on the sound characteristics in the ear canal are also measured. The results show the film earphone operates in the frequency between 1kHz and 20kHz.

    In brain tumor surgery using the ultrasonic monitoring technique, surgical instruments such as microdissectors and suction tubes create imaging artifacts. In addition, recognition of the correct position of the suction tube tip under ultrasonic monitoring is difficult because conventional 2D ultrasound creates similar images regardless of the scanning position along the tube. The backscattering-like artifact from these surgical instruments is caused by ringing vibrations generated on the tube by the ultrasonic monitoring pulse. We have attempted to suppress this type of artifact in vivo using a suction tube covered with a high-attenuation heat-shrinkable coating devised on the basis of in vitro experiments, and confirmed that this was effective. To identify the position of the suction tip on the ultrasound image, 1.4-μm-radius microcapsules having a hard plastic shell were attached to the metal tube tip. The microcapsules vibrate in synchronization with the ultrasound monitoring pulse and regenerate harmonic signals, based on the same principle as contrast agents used in ultrasound imaging. By using the 2nd harmonic imaging method, the metal tube tip was found to be selectively emphasized on the ultrasound image. It is anticipated that these improvements will make intraoperative ultrasonic monitoring a more powerful tool for brain tumor surgery.

    It is known that if a pipe end is faced at a vibrating surface in liquid with a small gap, liquid is sucked into the pipe. To fabricate miniature ultrasonic pump based on this phenomenon, we propose to utilize a bending disk transducer instead of piston vibration surface. However, it was confirmed through experiments that the pump characteristics decreased compared with the configuration using the piston vibration surface. In this report, we discuss the design of the bending disk transducer to have a uniform vibration amplitude near the center. As a result of the design, the pumping pressure and the flow rate have been improved by 1.4 times and 1.5 times, respectively.

    The goal of this study is to measure the residual volume of liquefied gas in a gas cylinder accurately by measuring the acoustic responses to a mechanical excitation applied on the outside of the gas cylinder. First, we investigated the vibration mode of cylinder through both measurements and finite element method. We analyzed the change in the resonance frequencies theoretically by assuming that liquid worked as loaded mass to the gas cylinder wall. The mass-loading effect is expressed by an analytical form and the water level can be calculated by the equation from the peak frequency. Then, it was shown experimentally that our method for residual volume estimation was valid for a 10.3ι gas cylinder with the error of less than 5.2%. It was also demonstrated that that the error was reduced by using the corrected vibration distributions. We confirmed that the method was valid also for glass bottle.

    A non-contact ultrasonic motor with a low-profile configuration is proposed. A metal disk 30mm in diameter is used as the stator vibrator. A flexural vibration traveling in the circumferential direction is excited on the disk by a piezoelectric annular disk bonded on it with a two-phase voltage source. Another metal thin disk with the same diameter is levitated just above the stator via a thin air gap by the acoustic radiation force. The traveling wave sound field in the gap induces an acoustic streaming in the circumferential direction to revolve the rotor disk. To enhance the rotation, the resonance of the stator vibration is chosen to coincide with the resonant mode of the air gap between the stator and rotor both in the frequency and the mode shape. The motor rotated at 1,260 rpm with the (1,1) flexural vibration mode of the disk stator at about 25kHz.

    This study presents a high frequency optical scanner with large scanning angle using bending vibrations of an optical fiber and a ball lens. The end of the optical is bonded on a PZT element, and mechanically excited in the cantilever bending mode. A collimated light is scanned at the vibrating frequency, if the light guided along the fiber illuminates the ball lens. The scanning angle of ±6°was obtained at 30 kHz. The product of the scanning frequency and the scanning angle becomes 180 kHz・°, and is larger than that of conventional systems. In the vacuum, viscous loading to the fiber was eliminated and approximately 1.7 times larger scanning angle was obtained. The scanning angle measured in the experiments was larger than the value expected by the ray-tracing method based on the displacement at the fiber end. This is considered to be attributed to the stress distribution in the optical fiber.

    This report presents an optical fiber switch based on the nature of elastic standing vibrations. An optical fiber put on a vibrating surface moves to the nodal position of the vibration, and rests there. Miniaturization as well as the improvements in the holding force and the number of switching ports are studied for a novel twin-beam structure. We designed and made the twin-beam structure, and an optical fiber is placed between the two small beams. The miniaturization results in shortening of the switching time to about 6 ms. The 1×4-switch operation of the optical fiber using the four vibration modes was confirmed.

    A long period optical fiber grating is obtained by ultrasonic bending vibration propagating along the fiber. The rejection optical wavelength is tunable by the ultrasonic frequency, since it is determined by the period of refractive index modulation due to the vibration. The rejection center wavelength and the rejection ratio are experimentally investigated as functions of the frequency, intensity and length of the ultrasonic vibration excitation. The rejection ratio is changed by the ultrasonic vibration amplitude, while the rejection band width depends on the fiber length where the vibration is excited. The wide tunable range of 160 nm (from 1490 to 1650 nm) was available for ultrasonic frequency range of 300 kHz. The rejection ration of 17 dB was achieved for the vibration velocity of 0.25 m/s.

    In the near-field acoustic levitation, the lateral position of the levitated object is automatically maintained by 'holding force,' which acts on the object so as to minimize the lateral displacement. In the previous studies, the authors have examined that the force is generated by the acoustic streami ng induced in the gap between the vibrator and the object. In this report, we measured the sound pressure distributions for the three types of vibrators and confirmed that the sound pressure distribution changes as the displacement of the levitated object changes We also measured and examined the enhancement of the holding force by small holes on the levitated object.

    The authors have proposed an ultrasonic actuator which is designed for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) motion of a ball rotor. Three orthogonal vibrations, one longitudinal vibration and two bending vibrations, can be excited by one transducer. In the practical system, an unnecessary vibration caused by the coupling between the two vibration modes affects the rotation direction of the ball rotor. This phenomenon spoils the controllability of the ball rotor. We tried to eliminate the inter-modal coupling experimentally by separating the resonance frequency by inserting inductors in the electrical port of the transducer. Next, we tried to control the direction of the rotational axis arbitrary in an x-y plane, as a preliminary research for full arbitrary rotation in the three dimensional space.

    Ths repot presents a method for positioning of optical fibers based on the nature of elastic standing vibrations. An optical fiber placed on a vibrating body is foreed to move to the nodal position of the vibration and rests there. The fiber is displaced to another node by switching the vibration modes. First, a stainless steel beam 30mm in length was excited by a piezoelectric element to generate a bending vibration. We confirmed the switch operation of the optical fiber by altemating the 3rd mode and 4th mode. Next, we designed and made a double beam structure for miniaturization and enhancing the operation stability. The fiber is placed between two small beams 15mm in length, and the stable preload is applied by these beams.

    Directional micfophones are used for sound source localization, selective recording etc. To achieve a sharp directivity below 10 degrees in full width at half maximum, a larger aperture is needed. In this report, we propose to construct the large aperture by the laser beam of an optical interferometer. The present method is based on the technique to measure the optical refractive index modulation in sound fieid by optical interferometry. The laser beam reflects many time in zigzag way between so many small mirrors to cover a large plane. We utilized a commercial laser Doppler velocimeter as an optical interferometer, and achieved the beam width of 7°at 2 kHz.

    Noise radiation and controllability of a multi-degree-of-freedom ultrasonic actuator were investigated in this report. We introduced a new holding system composed of a Teflon plate and a ball bearing for the ball rotor, and succeeded in reducing the sound pressure level down to 10 dB in the frequency range of 100 Hz to 8 kHz. Next, we tried to eliminate the coupling between the two vibration modes by inserting an inductor in the electrical port of the transducer, and finally we achieved a high controllability around each axis.

    Surface acoustic intensity is a useful measure for the identification of structure-borne sound that is radiated from a specific surface of a machine or a device in operation. In this technique, the intensity is determined by the sound pressure and the normal velocity on the vibration surface, which are directly measured by a microphone and a vibration pickup, respectively. In order to facilitate multiple point measurements, an efficient technique for setting two different sensors is required. In this paper, a hand-held sensor probe is proposed and the application is described. The sensor probe is composed of a 1/2-inch condenser microphone and an accelerometer of 1g. The two components are connected with a damper made of silicon rubber that isolates the transmission of the vibration. The precision of measurements is confirmed by the experiments in noisy environment. The sensor probe is applied to the detection of sound radiated from a hard disc drive unit working as a PC peripheral device in an office setting.

    We propose an ultrasonic linear micromotor using a ridge waveguide as a long microactuator that can be installed in MEMS devices for optical communication. Waves propagate ultrasonically along a rectangular projection from a flat substrate. At points along the waveguide, the vibration motion is elliptical in form, which can drive a slider placed on the waveguide through friction. To examine the proposed theory, we produced a large version, an acrylic ridge waveguide 5×15×1000 mm in size. We experimentally examined its vibration characteristics, produced an actuator using a small phosphor bronze slider based on the experimental vibration results, and demonstrated its motion. The moving velocity of the slider was about 33 mm/s.

    We propose a small piezoelectric linear actuator which is constructed by fastening a PZT poled in the thickness direction to a set of triangular fins. Elliptical vibration is generated at the top of each fin by combining the bending and longitudinal vibrations of the fins. These vibrations are excited by a cosine-sine drive of the divided electrodes on the PZT. By using many triangular fins, we hope to obtain high-power output and good controllability by increasing the contact surface between the slider and actuator. The configuration of the actuator was desigued and analyzed by using the finite element method. We confirmed the linear motion of the actuator and measured its motion experimentally. The fin actuator prototype moves linearly at 14 mm/s at 15 gf preload with 0.8 W electrical input and 2 gf sliding load.

    Low-profile inverter power supplies are increasingly required for backlight systems of liquid crystal displays (LCDs). A great deal of attention has been focused on the application of piezoelectric transformers (PTs) to such power supplies. To miniaturize PT inverters still further, PTs need to have sufficient high voltage-step-up-ratio, which can be achieved by a multilayered PT. First, this paper describes a method for simulating such performance using a distributed constant equivalent circuit model. The results of the simulation for a multilayered PT operated in the third order longitudinal vibration mode show that the resistance of internal electrodes causes the dominant loss factor. Next, a power inverter incorporating the multilayered PT was fabricated. This power inverter can be operated over a wide input DC voltage range from 7-20 V. Regarding a conventional inverter drive circuit, when input DC voltage range was extended, the inverter efficiency remarkably decreased. For the reason, we developed a new inverter circuit, which is equipped with an automatic drive voltage control circuit to maintain the drive voltage to the PT at a constant value. As a result, the fabricated power inverter exhibited more than 90% overall efficiency and 3.5 W output power, which is enough to light up a 12.1-inch color LCD. The maximum luminance efficiency on a light transmission plate of the backlight was as high as 30 cd/m^2/W.

    In the near-field acoustic levitation, the lateral position of the levitated object is automatically maintained by holding force, which acts on the object so as to minimize the lateral displacement. The authors discuss, in this report, on the simulation of the holding force under the assumption that the force is generated by the acoustic streaming induced in the gap between the vibrator and the object. First, the acoustic streaming is observed by a video camera to confirm the relationship between the streaming and the holding force. Next, the calculation model is examined for precise prediction of the acoustic pressure field. The report concludes that the quantitative value of the holding force can be calculated for different vibration modes if the coefficient of the calculation is once decided experimentally.

    This report describes an optical method to measure the sound pressure of ultrasonic field in the air. The modulation in the refractive index of air is detected by a laser Doppler velocimeter. The relationship between the sound pressure and the change in the refractive index of air is studied theoretically. The theory shows that the sound pressure can be measured quantitatively by the present method. A standing wave inside a vibrating ring and a radiated field in front of a piston vibrator were measured. Visualization of the two-dimensional pressure fields were performed successfully by a scanning laser Doppler velocimeter.

    The authors have reported the characteristics of the acoustic radiation force acting on the planar object in water, measured by using the piston vibration mode. The acoustic radiation force was proved to change from repulsive force into attractive one dependent on the vibration amplitude and the distance between the radiation surface and the planar object. Using this phenomenon, the planar object immersed in water was successfully transported by the flexural traveling mode out of touch with the vibrating plate. The transportation characteristics were also investigated by employing the measured transient response of the transportation velocity.

    Our research group has developed the measurement method of the power flow vectors in the thick vibration structures, where the measured vibration data and the forced vibration analysis are employed. In this report, the accuracy of the estimated force vector is investigated. The proposed method was applied to the no-load or the load ultrasonic vibration tool. The force vectors and the mechanical impedances were calculated. As a result, it is confirmed that the estimated impedance on the load surface is almost valid.

    A hybrid transducer type ultrasonic linear motor using the 1^<st> longitudinal and the 2^<nd> bending vibration modes of a bolt-clamped Langevin type transducer has been proposed and studied for accomplishing high mechanical output. The longitudinal vibration generates the mechanical driving force and the bending vibration controls the frictional force. To obtain large vibration amplitude and large mechanical output, a method to tune the longitudinal resonance frequency to the bending one was investigated using finite element simulations, and demonstrated experimentally. To avoid magnetic interaction, we employed phosphor bronze for the bolt of the transducer. The prototype motor marked the no-load velocity of 0.47 m/s and the maximum output mechanical force of 92 N.

    Structural intensity is useful quantity for identifying vibration sources and propagation paths, which shows the magnitude and direction of vibration energy flow, and it is calculated using multi-point vibration data through finite-difference(F-D) method in previous studies. This report proposes a method to estimate structural intensity from the vibration at one point:the in-plane and out-of-plane vibration displacements. The authors also propose a simple device to display the transmitted power, which is based on the nature of motion of vibration locus in flexural vibration.

    An ultrasonic motor is driven by frictional force between a slider and a stator. Sufficient change of the frictional force is necessary for efficient operation of the motor. However, due to the insufficient change of the frictional force associated with contact pressure change, the efficiency of the motor remains low. In this report, we use the nature of the lubricant, relationship between friction coefficient and pressure, to obtain sufficient friction force change. To obtain sufficient change of the friction coefficient, around 100 MPa of apparent contact pressure is required, a newly designed rotor with small apparent contact area was used in the experiment. The maximum efficiency was improved upto 72% by the newly proposed driving method, from 43% by the conventional ultrasonic motor. The reduction of friction loss was also confirmed.

    Conventional ultrasonic motor, which is driven by frictional force, has the limitation in life and rotation speed. In order to eliminate the limitation, non-contact ultrasonic motor has been proposed, whose rotor is levitated and rotated by acoustic viscous stress. However, in the first prototype, two large Langevin transducers were used for vibration sources. This report presents a new design for realizing the same performance with a small and simple structure by using a thin ring-shaped piezoelectric element pasted on a metal ring. We designed the stator profile to realize the required vibration velocity and the vibration distribution by finite element method and experiment.

    A planar object of a several kilograms in weight is successfully levitated in the air at a few hundred micrometers apart from a radiation surface. This phenomenon, called near-field acoustic levitation (NFAL), is expected to be applied to the non-contact transportation system for planar objects like a Silicon Wafer or a liquid crystlized device (LCD) substrate. The authors tried underwater NFAL and succeeded in levitating the planar objects in the water. Remarkable characteristics of underwater NFAL were found that either repulsive or attractive acoustic radiation force acts on the planar object. The characteristics and the mechanism of underwater NFAL were described in this report.

    The life of ultrasonic motors is limited by the wear of friction materials used for the contact surfaces. In order to reduce the wear of the friction material, we have to reduce the sliding speed between the sliding surfaces of the motor. In this report, we propose a new driving method to reduce the sliding speed of the motor by shaping the vibration speed waveform. The sliding loss was calculated and wear reduction effect was confirmed. A wear test was carried out under no-load condition. This method prolongs the life of an ultrasonic motor by about 3.4-fold. The results and wear reduction effects are also described.

    This study proposes a method to estimate mecahnical quality factor of materials for high-power ultrasonic vibration system under large vibration amplitude condition. The quality factors of several metals as well as some polymers are emeasured by this method. In this method, the quality factor is calculated as the ratio of the reactive energy stored in a specimen to the dissipated one. The dissipated energy is estimated by the input/output mechanical energy to the spcimen by the structural intensity measurement, while the reactive energy is measured as the kinetic energy of the vibration. then, the quality factor for the limited part can be extracted by this method. In this report, quality factors for torsional vibraion were measured at about 25kHz.

    The authors have found the acoustic levitaion phenomenon where planar objects of 10 kilograms in weight can be levitated near a vibration surface. This phenomenon has been studied for non-contact transportation. A circular planar object can be suspende without contacting a vibrating plate by using a circular vibrating plate. We have been studying the characteristics of the suspending force which acts on the levitated objects horizontally. The horizontal position of the object is stabilized by this force. In this paper, we discuss the effect of the radius of a levitated objects, levitation distance, displacement amplitude of vibration plate and vibration mode on the suspending force.

    Ultrasonic motors are driven by the frictional force between a rotor and a stator, and therefore, the contact surfaces are affected by ambient atmosphere. One example of severe driving conditions is a vacuum. First, friction materials, carbon fiber reinforced plastics and carbon metal, which have already been used for ultrasonic motors driven under atmospheric pressure conditions were tried out under two different vacuum pressures. Ceramic materials such as Al2O3, Si3N4 and SiC, have recently been tried out under two different vacuum pressures. The characteristics of motor, friction and wear such as rotor speed, maximum torque, friction coefficient and wear height, were measured and the feasibility of using the ultrasonic motor in vacuum was discussed.

    Using a large vibrator is an effective approach for high torque hybrid transducer ultrasonic motor which is composed of a torsional and a longitudinal vibration systems. However, several problems have been pointed out for constructing the large vibrator. This paper presents the torque accumulation method for high torque hybrid transducer ultrasonic motor. The authors proposed two concepts for the torque accumulation and studied the basic operation mechanism using the equivalent electrical circuit model. The practical systems were constructed and torque accumulation was confirmed experimentally.

    A vibrator with oblique slots has been proposed in order to excite torsional and longitudinal vibration mode, simultaneously. Although the torsional-longitudinal coupling mode transducer is often applied to ultrasonic motors or ultrasonic welding tools, the vibration analysis method of the transducer has not been proposed yet. In this presentation, the vibration analysis method of the torsional-longitudinal coupling mode transducer with oblique slots is proposed where new elastic consants are introduced. Comparing to the finite element analysis, the validity of the proposed method is confirmed.

    Rotor of noncontact ultrasonic motor is ultrasonically levitated via a small air gap and driven by the ultrasonic vibration traveling along a ring stator. To increase the revolution speed and reduce the volumn of motor, the revolution speed characteristics and the rotor stability are investigated theoretically and experimentally. On the basis of the investigation, several guidelines for the design of this motor are suggested.

    In the fabrication of a bolt-clamped large diameter Langevin torsional vibrater, it is difficult to achieve expected characteristics in the resonant vibration of the normal mode. We propose a torsional vibrator that is tightened with an outside bolt. At first, finite element analysis indicates that the vibration characteristics of a transducer tightened with an outside bolt are closer to the expected ones than those of a transducer tightened with an inside bolt. A torsional vibration 80 millimeters in diameter with a calculated resonance frequency of 28kHz has been fabricated. The resonant frequency of the torsional vibrator is 26.1kHz, the quality factor is 890 and the maximum angular velocity is 4.1 rad/s. It is confirmed that the vibration characteristics obtained with the externally bolted transducer are improved compared with the torsional transducer tightened with an inside bolt.

    The motor using ultrasonic waves in fluid is a new type of ultrasonic motor, in which the fluid inside a ring stator is caused to flow circumferentially by the ultrasonic vibration traveling along the ring stator and the rotor floated in the fluid is driven by this fluid rotation. For the optimum design of this motor, the operation mechanism is analyzed. This analysis shows the effects of the resonance of the fluid column confined in the ring stator, and the mode number of stator vibration on the flow velocity of fluid. The saturation of the acoustic streaming velocity is also investigated theoretically and experimentally. By means of these investigations, the methods to improve this motor are suggested.

    A hybrid transducer-type ultrasonic motor, composed of a torsional and longitudinal vibration systems, was studied to realize a large torque. Currently, we approach in two ways; one is to design the large size stator which has lane torque factor, and the other is to construct a torque synthesis system using several stators. In this paper, we present the large size motor 120 mm in diameter. Maximum torque of 170 kgf.cm was achieved in the large size approach. In addition, a multi-function interface motor for torque synthesis method is discussed theoretically and experimentally.

    "Girigiri-Garigari" is one of scientific toys and utilizes an interesting phenomenon that vibration is converted to rotation.It consists of a wooden square rod with notches and a propeller attached to the end of the rod by a nail loosely.A player can rotate the propeller and control the revolution directions with the use of the special technique. This paper describes an experimental study on the mechanism of this toy.Main results of this study are that the revolution of the propeller is caused by the elliptical motion excited on the end of the rod,and that the vibration system can be expressed by a lumped- constants model.In addition,two types of methods to excite the elliptical motion were investigated to be made clear.

    A new construction of an ultrasonic stepping motor is proposed in this report.This motor is based on the well-known phenomenon that the particle on the vibrating object moves to the nodal point and is trapped there.The authors introduce a simple electrode pattern to realize a small step angle.Here,focusing on a watch application,a small motor 40 mm in diameter with 6 degrees stepping angle is made for trial.A 60-step motion has been realized with 15 electrodes and 5 feeding lines by using 6th flexural mode of a ring and 5 spatial phase shifts.

    A new ultrasonic motor using Electororheological Fluids(ERF) between the torsional stator vibrator and the rotor is proposed in this report.ERF has characteristics that its viscosity can be changed by the electric field strength applied to it.If we change the field synchronously to the torsional vibration of the stator, the rotor is driven to rotate in one direction.In this report,we fabricate the motor based on this principle for trial and measure its fundamental properties.Then,we investigate the general performance and the optimum operation condition by introducing an electrical equivalent circuit of the motor.

    I investigated the distributed external acoustic impedance sensing based on correlation-domain technique for the oil inspection of underground and cancer detection. First, I measured acoustic impedance dependence of linewidth of guided-acoustic wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS). Second, I observed the enhanced GAWBS in highly nonlinear optical fibers using pump-probe technique for signal-to-noise ratio improvement. Third, I demonstrated the distributed temperature/acoustic impedance sensing based on GAWBS using Brillouin optical correlation-domain technique. Fourth, I observed GAWBS in special optical fibers. Fifth, I proposed the method for long-term localization of GAWBS in optical fiber.

    In this study, control of liquid crystal molecular orientation using ultrasound was investigated. Ultrasound liquid crystal devices were fabricated and the effects of ultrasound vibration on the molecular orientation were evaluated experimentally. The molecular orientation of liquid crystals could be controlled spacially and temporally by the input signals to the devices. Variable-focus optical lenses using this technique were also developed. The molecular orientation of liquid crystal in the lens could be controlled by the input voltage and the focus point of the lens could be successfully controlled.

    Ultrasonic motor is an actuator driven by high frequency vibration through friction force, and provides quick response and high torque-to-weight ratio. But its application has been restricted to special areas such as auto-focusing in camera and other precise positioning systems because its efficiency and life were limited. To overcome this problem, this study introduced lubricant in the friction interface between the rotor and vibrator, and then succeeded in developing efficient and durable ultrasonic motor. We carefully researched on the conditions of preload and vibration amplitude. The efficiency has been improved from 40% to 70% in hybrid transducer-type ultrasonic motors. Our experiments also proved that the life was successfully extended, and the operation stability was improved. In addition, the effects of the lubricant characteristics and the materials of contacting surfaces were experimentally investigated.

    To avoid contamination and increase processing speed, a non-contact technology for manipulating droplets will be required in production process of chemical materials and development of new materials. In this study, we proposed and developed systems for various kinds of processing such as transport, mixing, dispensing, and analysis of liquid sample without contact.
    For non-contact mixing of two drops of different liquid, we proposed to utilize two orthogonal ultrasonic standing wave fields. The method was proved with the experiments at several 10 kHz. To eject single droplet from a container, the conditions of the intensity and time duration of 1-MHz burst focused waves were examined. We demonstrated a coating process for a small object levitated at the nodal point of ultrasonic standing waves. A vibration system stabilized with a feedback oscillator was developed for the coating processing.

    For the application in pharmaceutical and high-quality chemical industries, totally non-contact transport of droplet is highly demanded. Techniques for non-contact mixing and dispensing are also required. We have succeeded in the noncontact linear transport of ethanol droplets of 1.5 mm in diameter using a semi cylindrical acoustic waveguide. The waveguide was composed of a bending vibration plate and a semi cylindrical reflector, and a traveling wave acoustic field was excited in the waveguide. The droplet was levitated due to the radiation force of the acoustic field, and then, pushed in horizontal direction because of acoustic streaming. The transportation distance was 65mm and the terminal velocity was over 2 m/s.
    We also succeed in noncontact mixing of two droplets, and dispensing a droplet through a hole installed in the reflector plate.

    This study presents the design of multi-degree-of-freedom ultrasonic actuator for the miniaturization and for the array arrangement on a substrate. Both cylinder and plate types were considered as suitable configurations for the array structure of the ultrasonic actuators.
    For the cylinder type actuator, a simple configuration with a cylindrical stator and a piezoelectric element was suggested. Then, the ratio of the diameter against the height of the cylinder was determined as 0.5 for the resonance frequency matching using finite element analysis (FEN), and the rotations around all the axes were obtained using the single actuator of 14mm in height and 7.0mm in diameter. In the arrayed configuration, it was found that there was a vibration coupling among the element actuators. To suppress the unnecessary vibration, trench and barrier structures were considered using FEA. It was became clear that these configurations were not effective in the cylinder type. The structure of the cylinder-type actuator was appropriate for the synchronized excitation of the arrayed element actuators, and two-directional motion of 93° and the minimum step of 0.19μm of the plate on the actuators as a two-dimensional stage were prototyped.
    For the plate type, a simple configuration using a cylindrical stator and a piezoelectric element with two-layered substrate was proposed. the unnecessary vibration in the plate type actuator array decreased more than in the cylinder type because of its structural feature, and effects of thin glue layer between the actuator and the substrate. Being based on the plate type, a 4x4 array was designed and fabricated. Using this model, a two-dimensional sliding table was prototyped. Wiring pattern for feeding electrical power to each element in a large-sized array actuator was studied.

    We investigated the relationship between comfortable sound properties and damping characteristics of organic hybrid.
    In order to obtain organic hybrid with higher damping performance, we studied on factors determining damping performance of organic hybrid and influence on an addition of inorganic fillers such as carbon and silica particles and carbon fiber.
    It was found damping performance is influenced by amount, intensity and structure of interaction between polymer and low molecule, besides an energy loss by polymer and low molecule themselves.
    Addition of inorganic filler improved damping performance, resulting from high energy loss at the interface between filler and matrix. The increase in damping performance by addition of inorganic filler decreased with increasing content of low molecule. This is because an applied mechanical energy becomes difficult to transmit to the filler surface by fluidity of low molecule at higher content of low molecule. However, further addition of inorganic filler recovered transmission of mechanical energy to a filler surface, resulting in an increase in damping performance.
    For investigation of comfortable sound properties, we estimated a transfer function between input signal and output sound of a speaker lined with and without organic hybrid. By lining with organic hybrid, we observed a change in a transfer function at certain frequency. We supposed this change in a transfer function influenced on comfortable sound properties.

    A new method to investigate the conditions of concrete structure and to search land mines using sound property has been proposed in this study. The surface conditions of the specimen is measured in term of the surface acoustic impedance without contact. The following three subjects were mainly investigated:
    (1) The relationships between the surface condition and the acoustic impedance
    (2) The formulation of the acoustic impedance and the surface condition with the sound pressure at two points
    (3) A novel method to measure the sound field distribution without disturbing the field to be measured.
    We demonstrated the experiments of the surface acoustic impedance measurements for a bottle embedded in a shallow land. The possibility of finding the embedded object through the sound impedance measurements was confirmed as the result of the experiment. The equations denoting the relationship between the surface condition and the acoustic impedance were deduced. An optical method to measure the sound field distribution in a pipe is newly invented in this study. A combination of a low-coherent light source and an adjustable optical path length enabled us the measurements of sound field with spatial resolution in the longitudinal direction. In conclusion, the basic theory and the instrumentation have been founded for the purpose in this study.

    Many studies about structural intensity (SI) measurement, which is useful to know transmission paths of the vibration energy in a body, have been reported until now. Most of the works, however, have been done only for thin bodies, such as beams or plates because of the difficulty in measuring interior vibration distribution in thick structures. In this research, we propose a new SI measurement method applicable to thick bodies. The entire vibration distribution in the structure is calculated by dynamic analysis of finite element method (FEM) from the partial surface vibration data if the density, the sound velocity, sizes of a body under study and the locations of excitation and absorption are given apriori. The entire SI distribution can be estimated using the results. Based on this method, we have successfully carried several SI measurements for thick vibrating bodies. The merits of this method are as follows: (1) Only surface vibration data of the structure is needed to estimate the entire SI distribution. (2) It is applicable for arbitrary 3-D structures if the conditions mentioned above are satisfied apriori. In the research, the influence of the measurement error and the required number of the measurement data are also investigated.

    This study was focused on the improvements of an ultrasonic stepping motor for its practical use. In this motor, a stepping motion is realized by shifting spatially the standing vibrations of a ring/disk stator.
    1) To support the stator firmly, a bending vibration mode of a disk with a nodal circle was introduced. An appropriate stator configuration was designed by Finite-Element-Method and made. We succeeded in fix the stator without reduction in vibration characteristics.
    2) An experimental investigation on the contact mechanism at the rotor/stator interface revealed that the accuracy of step position becomes high when the width of contact region is designed at a quarter wavelength of the stator vibration.
    3) A motor with 4.5 degree-step was designed and made being based on these new knowledge.
    4) A high speed operation algorithm for accurate positioning was developed, where a large step high spped coarse positioning and a small step fine positioning were used complementarily.
    It was clarified that the accuracy of the electrode pattern and the dimensions of the stator should be improved for much higher precision. A design for higher vibration amplitude is also important for larger mechanical output
    5) A principle of linear stepping motor was also proposed. A reversible stepping motion of 10 steps for 50 mm span was realized by exciting several bending vibration of a bar with different order.

    The Purpose of this research is to establish the practical technique of structural intensity measurement. In this study, the k-space signal processing and ultrasonic Doppler vibrometer array for structural intensity measurement have been proposed. We have obtained the following results.
    1.K-space method The derivation of structural intensity defined as vibration energy flow in solid structure contains the higher order spatial derivatives of displacement for flexural vibration. This calculation has a large effect on the measurement accuracy. In the proposed method, there are some merits that the spatial derivatives can be estimated only by the simple arithmetic in k-space using spatial Fourier transformation and that vibration noise can be reduced by k-space filtering. In order to avoid the loading effect on the specimen, a laser Doppler vibrometer was used which is one of the most promising candidates. We obtained the important result that the cutoff wave number for k-space filtering should be one and a half of the wave number of the measured vibration to minimize the influence of error in the measured data. This result was confirmed by the experiments for a beam and 2-dimensional plate.
    2.Ultrasonic Doppler transducer array We proposed a new probe for structural intensity measurement using ultrasonic Doppler method. This probe is suitable to make a large array system, since the ultrasonic system is to easy handle and cheaper than the optical one and has no loading effect to specimens. The array probes for 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional measurements were made. The usable range of these array is 3 mm/s-1.0m/s at vibration frequency 1 kHz. The validity of the ultrasonic transducer array using Doppler effect is confirmed experimentally by the 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional structural intensity measurements.

    さらに、本モータの最適な動作点を検討するために、電気等価回路モデルによる数値解析を行った。その結果、
    1)駆動周波数が高いほどすぐれた特性が得られる
    2)理想的にはねじり振動速度と同程度のロータ回転速度が得られるはずである
    3)以上を実現するためには高速なERFの開発が必要である
    4)既存のERFで従来の電磁型モータと同程度の出力トルクが得られるはずである

    We have proposed a novel scheme of self-aliging optical components and single mode fiber arrays, which is composed of an array put-in microconnectors. We fabricated a put-in microconnector consisting of an etched single mode lens jack and an fiber plug formed on a planar microlens substrate by a self-aligning technique. Some optical coupling characteristics without precise mechanical alignment were investigated. In this study, we aim at the realization of multifunction optical circuits using this put-in microconnector array. Therefore, the realization of low loss fiber connector, the establishment of evaluation method of self-aligning connects, the design and fundamental study of optical connect module are the objectives of this study.
    We tried to connect self-alignment between a single mode fiber and a planar microlens. The loss of connection was less than 5dB at the wavelength of 633nm. Besides, it was found that the connection loss by introducing of the lens-jack and fiber-plug is very small. We established the evaluation method of optical self-alignment by assuming a planar microlens to a thin lens. We also estimated the loss of each module. If the fiber is connected to the semiconductor laser diode without the error of connection angle and position, the distance between the semiconductor laser diode and the planar microlens is about 15mum, the distance between the planar microlens and the fiber is about 150mum for the tolerance of 1dB.It is found that we cannot omit the influence of spherical aberration of planar microlens, by this analysis. We found that the put-in micro connector is suitable structure for decreasing this spherical aberration. Thus, it will be a key technology for simple optical couplers for the advanced parallel optical fiber communications.

    本研究は、超小型で簡素な構造を持ち、アレー化の容易なマイクロフォンの実現を目指して、小さな曲率で曲げた光ファイバにより音場測定を試みようとするものである。これが実現すると、きわめて波長の短い高周波音場の測定が可能であること、アレー化による瞬時音場測定の実現などから、高周波化する最近の超音波技術や、多点同時計測が必要な騒音問題に寄与できる。本研究では、(1)試作を行って提案する原理の動作を確認する、(2)理論解析によって感度などの特性を明らかにし、設計法を確立する、(3)試作・実験による性能評価・特性改善を行うことを目的とした。
    プラスチックファイバを用いて試作し、以下のような成果を得た。
    1)空中および水中における20kHz定在波音場の測定に成功した、
    2)500kHz水中集束音場の測定に成功した、
