| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Laser ultrasonic technique is an excellent method as a non-contact and nondestructive evaluation for materials. However, being applied to the extremely small region of material, this method is limited by the diffraction limitation of irradiated pulsed laser. In this research, the method detecting ultrasound utilizing near-field light is presented. Near-field light is a non-propagating light that exists the region less than 1 μm. Scanning near-filed optical microscope (SNOM) is developed by modifying atomic force microscope (AFM). The ultrasound on the surface of the sample is detected by the scattered near-field light whose intensity is related to the distance between the sample surface and the probe tip. SNOM images under ultrasonic vibration are obtained and the deference of images is observed according to the intensity of the ultrasound. These results indicate the feasibility of detecting ultrasound using near-field light.
