Phonon echo

Japanese: フォノンエコー(英語表記)phonon echo
Phonon echo
This refers to the phenomenon and pulse signal in which, when two ultrasonic pulses or one ultrasonic pulse and one electromagnetic pulse are applied to a material such as an insulator, semiconductor, or metal, separated by a time interval τ, a phase-coherent ultrasonic or electromagnetic pulse signal is emitted at a time 2τ after a further τ. There are cases where the ultrasonic waves are propagating through the material, and cases where the material is vibrating in acoustic resonance. This phenomenon occurs when atoms or electrons in the material are excited by ultrasonic or electromagnetic waves, and does not occur in linear cases where a simple superposition of the waves excited by the first pulse and the waves excited by the second pulse occurs, but only in nonlinear cases where the product of the two waves creates a new wave.

二つの超音波パルス,または一つの超音波パルスと一つの電磁波パルスを,時間間隔τだけ離して絶縁体,半導体,金属などの物質に加えたとき,さらにτだけ後の時刻2τに位相のそろった超音波,または電磁波パルス信号が発射される現象およびそのパルス信号をいう。超音波が物質内を伝播(でんぱ)している場合と物質が音響的共鳴振動をしている場合とがある。物質内の原子や電子が超音波や電磁波に励起されるために生ずる現象で,第1パルスに励起された波と第2パルスに励起された波の単純な重ね合せの起きる線形の場合には生ぜず,二つの波の積が新しい波を作るような非線形の場合に初めて生ずる。
