Abstract
In April of 1969, Korpel et al1 described a method for rapidly forming acoustic holograms at 2.25 MHz using a laser scanning technique shown in Fig. 1. It was decided to use a system similar to this in the development of a large aperture acoustic camera which could form acoustic images and holograms in real time. The rationale behind this, the problems encountered in the development, their eventual solution and some novel modifications will be described in this paper.
