Electrical responses of shock-loaded X-cut quartz crystals were studied using laser-produced stress pulses. For acoustic transit times that are long compared to the duration of the stress pulse, two short-circuit current signals were observed. The amplitude of the current signal from the rear electrode is predicted to be twice that obtained from the ground electrode using a one-dimensional analysis of the dynamic piezoelectric effect. Experimental observations confirming such predictions are given.
