RESUMO

We characterize a response of optical microring resonator to high frequency focused ultrasound. To properly evaluate the response over high frequency and broadband spectrum, we use a photoacoustic concave transmitter generating and subsequently focusing the ultrasound. A detected focused profile reveals two types of spatial peaks due to the special ring-shaped detector geometry interacting with the high frequency focused ultrasound. Spectral analysis shows that those peaks are contributed by the main and the side lobes of focused ultrasound, respectively. Experimental focal widths agree with theoretical values within ±2 μm error, which can be attributed to the narrow width of waveguide.
