Transition radiation from relativistic electrons is investigated in an ultrasonic superlattice excited in a finite thickness plate. In the quasi-classical approximation formulae are derived for the vector potential of the electromagnetic field and for the spectral-angular distribution of the radiation intensity. The acoustic waves generate new resonance peaks in the spectral and angular distribution of the radiation intensity. The heights of the peaks can be tuned by choosing the parameters of the acoustic wave.

Forward transition radiation is considered in an ultrasonic superlattice excited in a finite thickness plate under oblique incidence of relativistic electrons. We investigate the influence of acoustic waves on both the intensity and polarization of t he radiation. In the quasi-classical approximation, formulas are derived for the vector potential of the electromagnetic field and for the spectral-angular distribution of the radiation intensity. It is shown that the acoustic waves generate new resonance peaks in the spectral and angular distributions. The heights and the location of the peaks can be controlled by choosing the parameters of the acoustic wave. The numerical examples are given for a plate of fused quartz.
We investigate the modulation of optical phonons in semiconductor crystal by surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating on the crystal surface. The SAW fields induce changes on the order of 10textsuperscript{-3} in the average Raman scattering intensity by optical phonons in Si and GaN crystals. The SAW-induced modifications in the Raman cross-section are dominated by the modulation of the optical phonon energy by the SAW strain field. In addition to this local contribution, the experiments give evidence for a weaker and non-local contribution arising from the spatial variation of the SAW strain field. The latter is attributed to the activation of optical modes with large wave vectors and, therefore, lower energies. The experimental results, which are well described by theoretical models for the two contributions, prove that optical phonons can be manipulated by SAWs with $mu$m wavelengths
We study the angular distribution of the radiation from a relativistic charged particle uniformly rotating along an equatorial orbit around a dielectric ball. Earlier it was shown that for some values of the problem parameters and in the case of weak absorption in the ball material, the radiation intensity on a given harmonic can be essentially larger than that for the same charge rotating in the vacuum or in a homogeneous transparent medium having the same real part of dielectric permittivity as the ball material. The generation of such high power radiation is a consequence of the constructive superposition of electromagnetic oscillations of Cherenkov radiation induced near the trajectory of the particle and partially locked inside the ball. The angular distribution of the number of the emitted quanta is investigated for such high power radiation. It is shown that the radiation is mainly located in the angular range near the rotation plane determined by the Cherenkov condition for the velocity of the charge image on the ball surface. The numerical analysis is given for balls made of strontium titanate, melted quartz and teflon in the gigahertz and terahertz frequency ranges.
Surface acoustic wave (SAW) is utilized in diverse fields ranging from physics, engineering, to biology, for transducing, sensing and processing various signals. Optical imaging of SAW provides valuable information since the amplitude and the phase o f the displacement field can be measured locally with the resolution limited by the spot size of the optical beam. So far, optical imaging techniques rely on modulation of optical path, phase, or diffraction associated with SAW. Here, we report experiments showing that SAW can be imaged with an optical polarimetry. Since the amount of polarization rotation can be straightforwardly calibrated when polarimeters work in the shot-noise-limited regime, the polarimetric imaging of SAW is beneficial for quantitative studies of SAW-based technologies.
Ultrasound waves propagating in water or soft biological tissue are strongly reflected when encountering the skull, which limits the use of ultrasound-based techniques in transcranial imaging and therapeutic applications. Current knowledge on the aco ustic properties of the cranial bone is restricted to far-field observations, leaving its near-field properties unexplored. We report on the existence of skull-guided acoustic waves, which was herein confirmed by near-field measurements of optoacoustically-induced responses in ex-vivo murine skulls immersed in water. Dispersion of the guided waves was found to reasonably agree with the prediction of a multilayered flat plate model. It is generally anticipated that our findings may facilitate and broaden the application of ultrasound-mediated techniques in brain diagnostics and therapy.
