Pencil beam all-optical ultrasound imaging
A miniature, directional fibre-optic acoustic source is presented that employs geometrical focussing to generate a nearly-collimated acoustic pencil beam. When paired with a fibre-optic acoustic detector, an all-optical ultrasound probe with an outer diameter of 2.5 mm is obtained that acquires a pulse-echo image line at each probe position without the need for image reconstruction. B-mode imag...
متن کاملAll-optical scanhead for ultrasound and photoacoustic dual-modality imaging.
We propose a new scanhead design for combined ultrasound (US)/photoacoustic (PA) imaging that can be applied to dual-modality microscopy and biomedical imaging. Both imaging modalities employ the optical generation and detection of acoustic waves. The scanhead consists of an optical fiber with an axicon tip for excitation, and a microring for acoustic detection. No conventional piezoelectric de...
متن کاملSingle-pixel optical camera for video rate ultrasonic imaging
A coherent-light single-pixel camera was used to interrogate a Fabry–Perot polymer film ultrasound sensor, thereby serially encoding a time-varying 2D ultrasonic field onto a single optical channel. By facilitating compressive sensing, this device enabled video rate imaging of ultrasound fields. In experimental demonstrations, this compressed sensing capability was exploited to reduce motion bl...
متن کاملBroadband All-Optical Ultrasound Transducer
Real-time three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution ultrasound imaging requires 2D phased arrays operating at frequencies higher than 50 MHz, which poses a great challenge for piezoelectric technologies. A promising alternative is an optoacoustic array relying on optical generation and detection of ultrasound. We present an all-optical ultrasound transducer, which consists of a 2D gold nanostructu...
متن کاملReview of Laser-Generated Ultrasound Transmitters and Their Applications to All-Optical Ultrasound Transducers and Imaging
Medical ultrasound is an imaging technique that utilizes ultrasonic signals as information carriers, and has wide applications such as seeing internal body structures, finding a source of a disease, and examining pregnant women. The most commonly used ultrasonic transducer today is based on piezoelectricity. The piezoelectric transducer, however, may have a limited bandwidth and insufficient se...
