Picosecond Photoacoustic Metrology of SiO2 and LiNbO3 Layer Systems Used for High Frequency Surface-Acoustic-Wave Filters

Many applications of thin films necessitate detailed information about their thicknesses and sound velocities. Here, we study SiO2/LiNbO3 layer systems by picosecond photoacoustic metrology and measure the sound velocities of the respective layers and the film thickness of SiO2, which pose crucial i...
