About the principal opportunity of measurement local acoustic pressure in liquid using LDA interference scheme.
It is shown that in an ultrasonic field in a liquid, by using the interference scheme of a laser Doppler anemometer (LDA), it is possible to indirectly measure the vibrational velocity of a particle and the corresponding local excess pressure based on detection of laser radiation scattered by particles. The scattered radiation is a frequency-modulated signal, the informative parameter of which is the frequency deviation at the second harmonic of the acoustic field.
