Bragg-Diffraction Imaging

  • Chapter
Acoustic Imaging

Abstract

The first good images by means of Bragg-diffraction of laser light from sound were produced in 1966 by Korpel [1]*. Korpel’s work followed the experimental conclusions reported in 1965 by Cohen and Gordon on the nature of light diffraction by ultrasonic wave fronts [4].
