Abstract
A new technology of visualization and diagnostics of transparent media with gradient inhomogeneities is described. This technology is called three-dimensional laser diffractometry; it is based on refraction of spatially structured laser radiation and digital recording and processing of twodimensional (in transmitted light) or three-dimensional (in scattered light) refractive patterns. Results of computer simulations of three-dimensional refractive patterns (3D refractograms) for spherically and plane layered media are presented. A setup for observation of 3D refractograms in scattered light is schematically described, the method of obtaining refractograms from experimental two-dimensional refractive patterns is presented, and examples of computer processing of experimental data are given.
