Photothermal strain imaging

Photothermal laser speckle imaging.

The analysis of speckle contrast in a time-integrated speckle pattern enables visualization of superficial blood flow in exposed vasculature, a method we call laser speckle imaging (LSI). With current methods, LSI does not enable visualization of subsurface or small vasculature, because of optical scattering by stationary structures. In this work we propose a new technique called photothermal L...

A photothermal ”mirage” imaging system

We describe a scanning mirage microscope system that uses a diode probe laser. The sample is raster scanned using X-Y motorised microstepping stages under an Ar+ pump beam to give two dimensional scans and depth profiles. The results for a test sample are given and are compared to that obtained by scanning using a conventional large photoacoustic (PA) cell.

Non-linearity in photothermal radiometric imaging

Non-linear effects occurring in photothermal microscopes based on principle of photothermal radiometry are studied as a hnction of the laser power and of the modulation frequency. For stainless steel, a second harmonic component of up to 11 % of the hndamental amplitude is found. Phase shifts of up to 20 degrees are observed as a hnction of the modulation frequency. The nonlinearity is mainly d...

Multifunctional GQDs-Coated Fe/Bi Nanohybrids for CT/MR Dual Imaging and in vitro Photothermal Therapy

Introduction: The multipurpose nanocomposites have gained growing biomedical attention as promising nanotheranostics to improve The effectiveness of cancer treatment, which concurrently combine advantages of the therapeutic and diagnostic techniques into one nanosystem. The “all-in on” probes not only help to ablate cancerous tumors, but also allow to optimize and monitoring of...
