Abstract
In this paper, we describe an optical detection method for the characterization of pulsed ultrasound based on acousto-optic interaction. We deduce the relationship between the ultrasound and the diffracted light from the principle of acousto-optic diffraction in the Raman-Nath regime, which is verified experimentally. Five ultrasonic transducers with different central frequencies and different focusing types are measured to show the method's performance regarding linearity, sound pressure measurement, phase measurement, frequency response, and spatial resolution. The experimental results show a good agreement with simulation data by CIVA (ultrasonic simulation software, M2M NDT, Inc.) and the pulse-echo method.
