| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We numerically investigated quasi-one-dimensional phononic crystal made of quartz glass and found that the structure can support a high Q cavity mode for quasi-longitudinal elastic wave within the large complete phononic band gap. By utilizing the strong confinement of the elastic wave in the cavity, we experimentally demonstrated the photoelastic effect is greatly enhanced when the incident elastic wave resonates with the cavity mode frequency in the sample made by ultrasonic machining processing. This result indicates that there is a possibility that high sensitivity detection of weak ultrasonic (elastic) wave can be realized by using phononic crystal cavities.
