Abstract

The development of a laser ultrasonic imaging technique for diagnostics of heterogeneous materials involves solving the inverse problem of ultrasound scattering. The paper describes the back-projection algorithm for the reconstruction of laser-ultrasonic images of inhomogeneous media. To demonstrate the capabilities of laser ultrasonic imaging, an experiment was carried out to reconstruct the image of an orifice 1 mm in diameter in a duralumin half-cylinder with a radius of 65 mm.
