contents Surface acoustic wave devices are key components for processing radio frequency signals in wireless communication because these devices offer simultaneously high performance, compact size and low cost. The optimization of the device structure requires a quantitative understanding of energy conversion and loss mechanisms. Stroboscopic full-field diffraction x-ray microscopy studies of a prototypical one-port resonator device revealed the existence of unanticipated acoustic loss. A non-uniform acoustic excitation in the active area was responsible for the substantial end and side leakages observed at the design frequency. Quantitative analysis of the strain amplitude using a wave decomposition method allowed the determination of several key device parameters. This high-resolution spatiotemporal strain imaging technique is, more generally, suited for studying nanophononics, specifically when the feature size is smaller than optical wavelengths. The strain sensitivity allows precise measurement of acoustic waves with picometer-scale amplitude.
