Abstract:
Flextensional transducers and methods of using flextensional transducers. The transducer includes a piezoelectric element and may include at least one endcap coupled with the piezoelectric element. The endcap may have an outer portion formed of a first material and an inner portion formed of a second material having a greater flexibility than the first material. The endcap may be coupled with an annular piezoelectric element near either its outer circumference or its inner circumference. The piezoelectric element may be a planar disk or have a curved bowl-shape. The transducer may be coupled with, and at least partially restrained by, a support structure. The transducer may also be configured to permit light to pass therethrough.

Claim (Index 23):
The flextensional transducer of  claim 22  wherein the piezoelectric element is annular and an aperture extends through the support structure and the piezoelectric element, and a portion of the first endcap is configured to permit light to propagate therethrough.
