Abstract

A technique for accurately measuring acoustic characteristics of a parametric array is provided. A first calculation unit that calculates a complex amplitude d of an optical phase at a frequency ffrom an amount of change φof the optical phase caused by demodulated sound S, assuming that q(ξ', η′) is a function defined using a Gaussian beam expansion method, a second calculation unit that calculates a function value q(ξ, η) at a point X and a line integral value ∫q(ξ′, η)dξ′ of the function q(ξ′, η) along the optical path L, and a third calculation unit that calculates a complex amplitude p of the demodulated sound with the frequency fat the point X using the complex amplitude d, the function value q(ξ, η), and the line integral value ∫q(ξ′, η)dξ′ are included.
