The surface-acoustic-wave velocities of Y-cut, Z-cut and ST-cut X propagation n-quartz are calculated by computer using the Campbell and Jones’ technique. The anisotropy parameter b of Cohen’s theory and anisotropic propagation coefficient ɸ of Mason’s theory can be computed directly from the velocity curves. The curved transducers were fabricated on the quartz substrates of various directions. The optical probing method has been used to measure the energy profiles of the surface acoustic waves. The comparison between theoretical results, experimental data and some previous data is given. It is found that the theoretical result is in good agreement with previous data, and that both Mason’s and Cohen’s diffraction theory give the similar results.
