Abstract
The recent active application of laser methods for the diagnostics of acoustic pressure, temperature, density, salinity, and current velocity fields in transparent media [1] is due to their substantial advantages over other methods. First, optical measurements do not disturb the fields under study, for the energy absorbed by the medium being probed is in most cases sufficiently low. Moreover, laser methods are practically devoid of inertial errors, which makes it possible to diagnose fast processes. Their additional merit is the possibility they provide of taking remote measurements. Laser methods allow one to investigate a refractory index field that can then be converted into the desired field of another physical quantity.
