Optical detection of ultrasonic signals of 7.5 MHz center frequency has been carried out by heterodyne interferometry at the rough surface of an aluminum sample. The distorted wave front was reconstructed by optical phase conjugation leading to an increase of the light-gathering power of the interferometer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
