Figure 9. Optical projection of the focal zone.

Figure 9

The projection of the focal zone magnifies the spacings and the widths of the peaks with increasing projection distance, and produces unsharp peaks in the spatial pattern. Peak spacings are expected at every ultrasound half-wavelength multiplied by the magnification factor or mΛ/2, where m is the magnification factor and Λ is the wavelength of the ultrasound.
