Abstract: | The calibration in frequency of piezoelectric transducers can be obtained by sending an ultrashort laser pulse (30 ps), generated by a mode-locked Nd:YAG laser, directly on the detector surface. Thanks to its short duration, the mode-locked pulse behaves as an excitation source of wide spectral content, so that the spectral analysis of the recorded electric signal gives direct information about the frequency response of the probe. In particular, we report a series of measurements on various transducers of several nominal frequencies and we show the different response of the probe to a focused laser beam to that of an unfocused one. |
