Quantitative Analysis of Pulsed Ultrasonic Beam Patterns Using a Schlieren System
Abstract The acoustic output from pulsed ultrasonic transducers has traditionally been analyzed with a hydrophone. Recently, a new faster technique has been developed using the principles of optical diffraction. This schlieren method allows the direct two-dimensional visualization of the ultrasonic beam as a pulse train. In order to obtain quantitative information in the form of temporal-average ...
