Abstract

The use of holographic techniques for the detection of ultrasonic waves and the measurement of some of their characteristics is investigated. A quantitative relationship between these characteristics and the radiance distribution in the holographic reconstruction is obtained from coherence considerations on the basis of a previously developed theory. The reconstructed image is a “side-view” picture of the sound wave and, under certain conditions, is identical to the image formed by the familiar Schlieren system.
