Abstract :
Acoustic surface waves have been transferred from yz lithium niobate to s.t. cut quartz surfaces across thin epoxy-resin bonds in a planar geometry. In the best case to date, only 7 dB transmission loss was measured through two bonds at 50 MHz in a lithium-niobate-quartz-lithium-niobate structure.
