Piezoceramics for acousto-optics applications

This paper presents an experimental study on the behavior of piezoceramics of PZT type, having a high compliance obtained in laboratory, and their applications in acousto-optics. The PZT type piezoceramic materials with high compliance and electrostrictive coefficients were used for optoelectronic applications, such as: low power bimorph piezoceramic transducers for optical vibrating systems, laser interferometers, remote command signals in optoelectronic systems, bar code systems, micropositioners for laser systems, etc.
