  • Abstract
    Sound pressure was measured by a laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) through the acousto-optic effect of air. First, the author studied the acousto-optic coefficient of air and gave the quantitative relationship between the sound pressure and the LDV output. Then, two-dimensional measurements were demonstrated for a standing wave and a radiated field.
