The article presents the results of Matlab simulations and experimental studies of influence of the ultrasonic wave on the laser beam. A role of the air gap, and its influence on laser-ultrasonic transmission in optical fiber was examined. Advantages and disadvantages of both solutions of interaction of ultrasonic and optical waves in, e.g., surgical applications are discussed.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={A Study of Interaction of Ultrasonic and Optical Wave in Optical Fiber Using the Air Gap}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/104433/PDF/09_paper.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10168-011-0043-7}, keywords={transmission of acoustic wave, transmission of optical wave, optical fiber, air gap}, }
