Stroboscopic X-ray topography of quartz resonators

Abstract

Stroboscopic X-ray topography has been performed to observe the different states of acoustic vibrations in quartz resonators with a time resolution of 1 ns. These experiments have been made at LURE (Orsay, France) using the pulsed light delivered by the DCI storage ring. The studied resonators have shown that the vibration is affected by the nature, the density and the distribution of the defects.
