Towards the real-time measurement of Ultrasound Fields by combining Schlieren Tomography and Wavefront Sensing

Recent advances in ultrasound generation such as ultrasonic holography and acoustic tweezers require methods for the fast characterization of pressure fields. Typically, this can be achieved by using a hydrophone, but the measurement of the three-dimensional (3D) pressure distribution in a few cm re...
