Surface acoustic cnoidal waves and solitons in a LiNbO3-(SiO film) structure
In the particular case of the propagation of large-amplitude Rayleigh waves in a layered LiNb03-(SiO film) structure, a conversion of these waves into cnoidal waves at a sound intensity ~ 100 W/mm2 has been observed experimentally for the first time. At 300 W/mm2, the experiments reveal a conversion into a periodic train of Korteweg-de Vries solitons. There are two solitons, with different amplitudes, in each period.
