Abstract
The optical excitation and propagation of converging surface acoustic waves on silicon with orientations (001) and (111) have been experimentally studied. An axicon-assisted formation of an annular irradiated region on the sample surface served as a source for converging surface waves. Surface wave patterns at different times were recorded using a Sagnac interferometer with spatial resolution. A study of the field distribution at the focus showed that, in spite of elastic anisotropy, which generally leads to aberrations, the acoustic energy can be concentrated into a spot with dimensions close to the diffraction limit. An asymmetric excitation distribution makes it possible to control the structure of the converged wave field at the focus, providing an effective tool for all-optical diagnostics of the local crystal structure as well as electronic properties of quantum objects embedded in the solid-state matrix.
