Abstract
Visualization of ultrasonic field is special interest for non-destructive evaluation, acousto-optic information processing, non-linear acoustics, etc. Early works are showing the intensity distribution of low frequency acoustic field by schlieren method which is based on geometric optics idea of rays bending[1]. And the wavefront of ultrasonic traveling waves which involves the important phase information could be visualized by stroboscope technique[2]. The methods were also based on geometric optics idea. But in the higher frequency range, these theories of visualizing the ultrasonic wavefront are imperfect or confused, or the cost is high, and the results are not in real time.
