Abstract

In this contribution, a numerically simulated ultrasound pressure field is exploited to determine the experimental parameters and to analyze the error sources as well as their influences on final results. After that, several ultrasound transducers excited with 1 MHz signals are investigated. The light refractive tomography results show good agreement with hydrophone measurements. Finally, we reconstruct 2000 transient states of the ultrasound pressure field within a volume of about 38 cm(3) after sending the burst signal. Without applying any smoothing to the resulting images, the reconstructed pressure field varies continuously in both spatial and temporal dimensions.
