Abstract:
A dome-shaped reflector, comprising:a center section, having predetermined first curvature and reflective characteristics associated therewith, and formed to reflect a primary pressure pulse propagating thereon, so as to form a first subordinate pressure pulse of a compound pressure pulse; and at least one ring section, substantially concentric with said center section, having predetermined second curvature and reflective characteristics associated therewith, and formed to reflect the primary pressure pulse propagating thereon, so as to form at least one additional subordinate pressure pulse of said compound pressure pulse, wherein said at least one ring section includes a plurality of substantially ellipsoid ring sections, each having proximal and distal focal points with respect to said reflector, wherein said proximal focal points of said plurality of ring sections substantially coincide, and wherein said distal focal points of said plurality of ring sections are adjacent to each other, and wherein said focal point of said center section and said proximal focal points of said plurality of ring sections substantially coincide.
