A coupled pair of 500 μm length microcantilevers was excited using the ultrasound radiation force. The excitation was produced using the difference frequency between the two sidebands of a double-sideband suppressed carrier AM (DSB-SC-AM) waveform centered on 500 kHz that was emitted by a focused ultrasound transducer. A laser Doppler vibrometer measured the frequency response and deflection shapes of the cantilever pair. The measured frequencies of the symmetric and antisymmetric eigenstates of the first transverse mode at 10 kHz excited using the ultrasound radiation force were consistent with frequencies measured using a scanning-probe microscopy system. The ultrasound radiation force was also used to excite the symmetric and antisymmetric eigenstates of the 60 kHz second transverse and 86 kHz first torsional modes. These results demonstrate the capability of using the ultrasound radiation force for excitation of structures in air that are significantly smaller, and with higher resonance frequencies, than in any previous study.

New vibration pulses are proposed to increase the power of shear waves induced by ultrasound radiation force in a tissue region with a preferred spectral distribution. The new pulses are sparsely sampled from an orthogonal frequency wave composed of several sinusoidal signals. Those sinusoidal signals have different frequencies and are orthogonal to each other. The phase and amplitude of each sinusoidal signal are adjusted to control the shape of the orthogonal frequency wave. Amplitude of the sinusoidal signal is increased as its frequency increases to compensate for higher loss at higher frequency in the tissue region. The new vibration pulses and detection pulses can be interleaved for array transducer applications. The experimental results show that the new vibration pulses significantly increases induced tissue vibration with the same peak ultrasound intensity, compared with the binary vibration pulses.
