Figure 7
Spatial Fourier transform of an incident spherical wave as given by Saka et al. (1973). Crystal thickness and reflection parameters are the same as in Fig. 1. The surface-reflected wave is given by s(q) = J0(2Aq)+J2(2Aq) and, neglecting absorption, the first back-reflected contribution by b(q) = J0[2A(q2-1)1/2] + 2[(q-1)/(q+1)] J2[2A(q2-1)1/2] + {[(q-1)/(q+1)]2 × J4[2A(q2-1)1/2]}. q is a normalized spatial coordinate, Jn are Bessel functions. In reality, with absorption the echo, of course, would be smaller than the direct pulse. Note the similarity to Fig. 1, taking absorption into account, which mainly affects the echo. |
