Fiber-laser-based photoacoustic microscopy and melanoma cell detection.
For broad applications in biomedical research involving functional dynamics and clinical studies, a photoacoustic microscopy system should be compact, stable, and fast. In this work, we use a fiber laser as the photoacoustic irradiation source to meet these goals. The laser system measures 45×56×13 cm3. The stability of the laser is attributed to the intrinsic optical fiber-based light amplific...
متن کاملSensitivity of photoacoustic microscopy
Building on its high spatial resolution, deep penetration depth and excellent image contrast, 3D photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) has grown tremendously since its first publication in 2005. Integrating optical excitation and acoustic detection, PAM has broken through both the optical diffusion and optical diffraction limits. PAM has 100% relative sensitivity to optical absorption (i.e., a given p...
متن کاملLaser scanning laser diode photoacoustic microscopy system
The development of low-cost and fast photoacoustic microscopy systems enhances the clinical applicability of photoacoustic imaging systems. To this end, we present a laser scanning laser diode-based photoacoustic microscopy system. In this system, a 905 nm, 325 W maximum output peak power pulsed laser diode with 50 ns pulsewidth is utilized as the light source. A combination of aspheric and cyl...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Fiber Laser with Independently Adjustable Properties for Optical Resolution Photoacoustic Microscopy
Photoacoustic imaging is based on the detection of generated acoustic waves through thermal expansion of tissue illuminated by short laser pulses. Fiber lasers as an excitation source for photoacoustic imaging have recently been preferred for their high repetition frequencies. Here, we report a unique fiber laser developed specifically for multiwavelength photoacoustic microscopy system. The la...
متن کاملPolarimetric fiber laser sensors.
Rare-earth-doped fibers have been extensively investigated for their applications to optical amplifiers and fiber lasers. The Er-doped fiber amplifiers are about to be implemented in practical communication systems.' On the other hand, current use of fiber lasers is relatively limited, although their potential as light sources for telecommunications and fiber-optic sensors is considered to be s...
