Abstract
Probing of the near field of an ultrasonic beam in water with a thin
laser beam has verified that a diffracted beam of light, whose amplitude
is a function of the angle of incident light, is related to the spatial
Fourier spectrum of the far-field acoustic distribution. There are indications
that this method of probing may be useful in evaluating transducer
mountings.
As an application of the technique, reflection-transmission properties
of sound on a liquid-liquid interface are examined, and the detection of
evanescent waves verifies their physical existence and properties.
