Abstract
An ultrasonic probe lens comprising a lens body comprising a solid material extending outward from an optical lens axis to a periphery, an inner surface of the lens body, and an outer surface of the lens body. A thickness of the lens body as measured from the inner surface to the outer surface varies from an optical lens axis to the periphery such that the lens body is configured with an inner optical profile and an outer optical profile to phase modulate the ultrasonic waves incident upon the lens body to reduce reverberations.
