ABSTRACT:
An ultrasound source for transmitting ultrasound along a fiber or rod comprises a thin piezoelectric element having two closely spaced apart concave and convex surfaces and an acoustic intensifier abutting the concave surface. The acoustic intensifier tapers from the concave surface to a narrow cross section. A cylindrical fiber or rod extends from the acoustic intensifier at the narrow cross section.
