Directivity pattern of parametrically generated acoustic waves

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento D

Summary

The generation of down-converted frequency waves in the nonlinear propagation of acoustic waves is examined, in order to investigate the effects produced by the finiteness of the medium or of the media of interaction. Oscillations of the directivity patternsvs. the width of the media of interaction are set in evidence and related to resonance conditions of the medium cavity.

Riassunto

Si è studiata la generazione parametrica di onde acustiche di bassa frequenza, ottenute per interazione non lineare tra due fasci di frequenza elevata, che si propagano in mezzi di lunghezza finita. Si sono messe in evidenza le oscillazioni della funzione di direttività in dipendenza della lunghezza d'interazione, dovute all'alternanza delle condizioni di risonanza di cavità dell'intervallo d'interazione.

Резюме

Исследуется параметрическое образазование акустических волн низкой частоты, которые получаются при нелинейном взаимодействии двух пучков акустических волн высокой частоты, которые распространяются в среде с конечными размерами. Наблюдаются осцилляции функции направленности в зависимости от длины взаимодействия. Определяются условия резонанса для резонатора.
