Abstract
Thin film layers play an important role in several applications in the field of acoustics. Piezoelectric films, such as for example ZnO films, are of great importance on the generation and detection of high frequency bulk and surface acoustic waves, in applications including acoustic microscopy and acousto-optic Bragg cells. Thin film overlays are widely used for improving the acoustic propagation characteristics and the transducer performance in surface acoustic wave passive devices, such as resonators and filters. Other applications rely on the use of thin films as guiding structures for surface acoustic wave delay lines, as well as for both acoustic and light waves in acousto-optic planar cells for integrated optics. There are materials, moreover, such as polymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVF2), which are stretched into the form of thin layers a few tens of micron thick for a number of piezoelectric acoustic wave transducer applications.
