Shorter ultrasound pulses improve resolution in NDT systems, but Fresnel Zone Plates (acoustic lenses) require longer pulses to avoid performance degradation. Understanding their transient response is key for optimal focusing.
Area of Science:
- Acoustics
- Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
- Optics (Acoustic)
Background:
- Fresnel Zone Plates (FZPs) are planar acoustic lenses used to focus ultrasound.
- High resolution in ultrasonic NDT pulse-echo systems relies on short ultrasound pulse durations.
- Acoustic lenses have a transient response that impacts focusing performance.
