The low-frequency оptoacoustic transducer optimal characteristics determination for diagnostics of geomaterials

The paper presents an overview of modern non-destructive testing methods, analyzing their advantages and disadvantages from the perspective of studying large-size heterogeneous objects. It is found that acoustic methods are the most informative when it comes to studying the structure and properties of such complex heterogeneous materials as rocks. The paper analyzes modern methods of generation of ultrasound, addressing characteristics of the sounding signal. It is confirmed that the laser generation of ultrasound is the best way to control the characteristics of the sounding signal. The paper also analyzes digital processing tools used in combination with acoustic methods. It is substantiated that the relationship between the characteristics of optoacoustic transducers and those of the sounding signal should be necessarily estimated. It is proposed that the Program for Modeling the Propagation of Gaussian Beams by the ABCD-matrix Method should be used to create a model assessing the relationship between the above characteristics. It is analyzed how the spectrum of the sounding signal changes depending on the laser pulse duration and light absorption and acoustic characteristics of the generator. It is found that certain characteristics of an optoacoustic transducer can be controlled so as to tune the transducer to be suitable for purposes of some research. Directions for further research are proposed with a view to controlling the characteristics of the sounding signal by tuning the characteristics of the optoacoustic transducer.
