This paper evaluates the performance of an optical fiber phased array as a source of ultrasonic generation for nondestructive applications. The results of the shear and longitudinal wave directivity patterns generated with this technique are presented. The signal enhancements produced by increasing the number of fibers in the array are presented for both shear and longitudinal waves. The receiving transducers were two piezoelectric transducers.
