ABSTRACT:
A method determines a nonlinearity profile of a material. The method includes providing a magnitude of a Fourier transform of a measured nonlinearity profile measured from the material. The method further includes providing an estimated phase term of the Fourier transform of the measured nonlinearity profile. The method further includes multiplying the magnitude and the estimated phase term to generate an estimated Fourier transform. The method further includes calculating an inverse Fourier transform of the estimated Fourier transform. The method further includes calculating a real component of the inverse Fourier transform to generate an estimated nonlinearity profile.
