Abstract
In contrast to optical holography, which has sometimes been described as a solution looking for a problem, acoustical holography was from the outset developed for a specific purpose. This purpose is that of all acoustical probing systems; namely, detecting, locating, and imaging a structure immersed in a medium opaque to electromagnetic radiation. This description encompasses a variety of specific problems, such as nondestructive testing, medical imaging, oil exploration, underwater imaging, etc. In this chapter we describe some of these and include preliminary experimental results where available.
