| 摘要 |
Acoustic waveguides, acoustic filters and acoustic reflectors are based upon the discovery of increased acoustic wave velocity in materials such as lithium niobate and lithium tantalate into which a metal such as titanium, nickel or chromium has been diffused. Velocity increases larger than 1 percent have been obtained; and negligible effect on acoustic loss is incurred thereby. The technique and the resulting devices result in a simpler structure than provided by the metallic strips or the ion beam etched surface regions of prior acoustic devices in which velocity perturbations of comparable magnitude have been desired. |
