Description of the Related Art An ultrasonic inspection method for nondestructively inspecting the inside of a material or a structure with elastic waves sends ultrasonic waves to an object and inspects the internal state of the object using the echo. is doing. As a method of generating this ultrasonic wave, conventionally, a bulk wave radiating piezoelectric element is mainly attached to a subject and used. However, depending on the state of the subject, such as when the subject is moving or the subject has a high temperature, it may not be appropriate to bring the piezoelectric element into contact with the surface of the subject. However, the contact method has problems such as a decrease in accuracy due to the influence of the operating environment and the contact medium. Therefore, if the ultrasonic waves can be sent to the subject without contact, there are no restrictions on the measurement environment. For this reason, conventionally, a method has been proposed in which an elastic wave is generated using a laser and the elastic wave is sent to a subject without contact. Conventionally proposed techniques for non-contact generation of elastic waves using a laser include a laser ultrasonic method, a single beam scanning method, and an optical fiber phased array method.

The laser ultrasonic method is a method of irradiating an object with a beam such as a pulsed laser to generate ultrasonic waves, and has the great advantage that it can be remotely scanned without contacting the object, but if the power density of the beam is large There are many points inferior to the conventional method using a piezoelectric element, such as the fact that a sufficiently large amplitude cannot be obtained because the object is damaged and the directivity cannot be controlled.

である。The single beam scanning method is a method of scanning a single laser beam, and can efficiently generate surface acoustic waves and bulk acoustic waves, but it is difficult to increase the frequency. The reason is that the condition of high-speed scanning and sharp focusing is that the frequency is 50 MHz.
This is because the frequencies higher than z cannot be satisfied at the same time.

First, the principle of generation of elastic waves by the method of the present invention will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 1, two energy beams with different angular frequencies ω 1 and ω 2 ,
For example, the two laser beams 1 and 2 are made incident on the surface of the subject 3 in a direction forming an incident angle θ with the normal. As the energy beam, an electron beam or the like can be used in addition to the laser beam. The two beams are individual beams of a laser that are given a frequency difference by an acousto-optic device or that oscillate simultaneously at two frequencies. Due to the interference of these two laser beams, I 1 is the amplitude of the laser beam 1,
With I 2 as the amplitude of the laser beam 2, the amplitude I and the intensity I 2 of the light on the surface of the subject are as follows. I = I 1 expj (k 1 x−ω 1 t) + I 2 expj (k 2 x−ω 2 t) I 2 = I 1 2 + I 2 2 + 2I 1 I 2 cos {(2Ksin θ) x−ω a t } (1) Here, k 1 and k 2 are wave number vectors of the laser beam, and K = | k 1 | = | k 2 | = 2π / λ (2) is the wave number of the laser, and λ is the wave number of the laser. The wavelength, ω a = ω 2 −ω 1 (3) is the angular frequency difference between the two laser beams. Formula (1)
The third term of is the interference fringe as shown by the black square in FIG. 1, the interval is given by Λ = λ / 2sin θ (4), and the scanning speed is V = ω a / 2Ksin θ (5 ) Is introduced. Due to the light absorption and the electric field of the light produced by the interference fringes, a strain having the same period as the intensity distribution of the interference fringes is formed on the surface of the subject, and the strain is radiated as an elastic wave toward and along the surface of the object. At this time, if the intersection of the wavefront of the elastic wave radiated inside and the surface of the subject has an interval equal to the interval of the interference fringes and a speed equal to the scanning speed V of the interference fringes, the laser emits light and interferes. Since the elastic wave is amplified while the stripes are present, a particularly strong elastic wave is generated. This condition is satisfied by the elastic wave radiated in the direction given by the following equation. φ = sin −1 (v / V) (6) Here, φ is the angle formed by the normal direction of the object surface and the propagation direction of the elastic wave, and v is the acoustic velocity of the elastic wave. The above is the principle for effectively generating bulk acoustic waves. Next, particularly when the scanning velocity V is equal to the sound velocity v R of the elastic surface, when v R is taken as the sound velocity v of the equation (6), φ = 90 degrees, and a surface acoustic wave is generated along the surface. This is the principle of the method of generating surface acoustic waves.

シロスコープである。(Experimental Example) In order to carry out the present invention, it is desirable to use a pulse laser having a pulse width sufficiently longer than the period (about 1 to 10 ns) of an elastic wave in a target frequency band and having good coherence. The outline of the experimental apparatus is shown in FIG. As the laser, the second harmonic of the Nd: YAG Q switch pulse laser generated from the laser generator 3 having a wavelength of 532 nm, a pulse width of 200 ns, an energy of 5 mJ, and a beam diameter of 5 mm (on the surface of the subject) was used. After splitting this laser beam with a beam splitter, one of the beams 1 is made of TeO 2 for changing the frequency.
O) Element 5 (frequency ω is 110 MHz) was used. The frequency-shifted laser beam 2 and the unshifted laser beam 1 are incident on the aluminum plate 6 having a thickness of 1.5 mm by an incident angle θ.
(Fig. 1) = 0.3 degree irradiation. This gives an interval of 5
Interference fringes of 0.8 μm are scanned at a speed of 5588 m / s. As a result, the transverse elastic wave generated is generated by the aluminum plate 6.
And is emitted into the water droplet 7 on the side opposite to the laser interference fringe irradiation surface. Therefore, this water drop was detected by an ultrasonic sensor installed as an elastic wave propagation medium. Reference numeral 12 is an oscilloscope.

The lower signal shows the output waveform from the ultrasonic sensor. The measurement time range is 10 microseconds. In FIG. 4, the time axis is enlarged to clearly observe the waveform of the ultrasonic sensor, and the measurement time range is 0.2 microseconds. In this case, a clear periodic signal was observed, and it was found that the frequency was 110 MHz from the period of time change.

It was confirmed that the 0 MHz transverse wave was excited. In addition, in the experiment, it was confirmed that the waveform disappeared when any one of the two laser beams was blocked. In addition, the signal-to-noise (S / N) ratio was 30 db or more, although the results were obtained without averaging in both FIGS. Furthermore, in this experiment, no thermal damage was caused on the surface of the subject by laser irradiation. This is because the power density on the irradiated surface is as low as 0.13 MW / cm 2 , which demonstrates the low damage of the elastic wave generation method according to the present invention.

可能である。According to the elastic wave generating method of the present invention, when the pulse width of the laser is sufficiently larger than the period of the elastic wave, a large amplitude can be realized by the effect of integrating the distortion. This can bring about a significant improvement in the sensitivity of inspection and measurement as compared with the conventional “laser ultrasonic method”. Further, in the elastic wave generating method of the present invention, since the generated elastic wave propagates in the direction given by the equation (6), the emission direction of the elastic wave can be controlled by controlling the scanning speed of the interference fringes. is there. Further, in the elastic wave generating method of the present invention, the energy of the beam is dispersed in the size of the beam diameter, so that the energy density on the surface of the object can be lowered and the object is less likely to be damaged. Further, it is difficult to increase the frequency by the conventional “single beam scanning method”, but in the method of the present invention, an elastic wave of an arbitrary frequency can be generated by increasing the beam crossing angle and the frequency difference. Furthermore, independent control of frequency and directivity is possible, which was not possible with the conventional “optical fiber phased array method”.
