Laser-scanning photoacoustic microscopy with ultrasonic phased array transducer
In this paper, we report our latest progress on proving the concept that ultrasonic phased array can improve the detection sensitivity and field of view (FOV) in laser-scanning photoacoustic microscopy (LS-PAM). A LS-PAM system with a one-dimensional (1D) ultrasonic phased array was built for the experiments. The 1D phased array transducer consists of 64 active elements with an overall active d...
متن کاملAcoustic resolution photoacoustic Doppler flowmetry using a transducer array: optimising processing for velocity contrast
This work demonstrates the first measurements of blood flow velocity using photoacoustic flowmetry (PAF) employing a transducer array. The measurements were made in a flow phantom consisting of a tube (580 μm inner diameter) containing blood flowing steadily at physiological speeds ranging from 3 mm/s to 25 mm/s. Velocity measurements were based on the generation of two successive photoacoustic...
متن کاملAcoustic Doppler velocity measurement system using capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer array technology.
This paper describes the design, fabrication, modeling, and characterization of a small (1 cm(2) transducer chip) acoustic Doppler velocity measurement system using microelectromechanical systems capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducer (cMUT) array technology. The cMUT sensor has a 185 kHz resonant frequency to achieve a 13° beam width for a 1 cm aperture. A model for the cMUT and the ac...
متن کاملDesign of a High Frequency Equal Width Annular Array Transducer for Medical Imaging
This work investigates a strongly-focused annular array for high frequency ultrasonic applications, offering improved resolution without increasing the operating frequency, potentially reducing the complexity of manufacture. However, the conventional geometry, specifically the Equal Area array exhibits a problem with high sidelobes. A method based on geometric change is developed to control the...
متن کاملOptimal cascade operation of optical phased-array beam deflectors.
An optimal strategy for cascading phased-array deflectors is presented that allows for high-resolution random-access beam steering with continuous scan-angle control but requires a minimum number of control lines. The system is analyzed theoretically by use of a Fourier optics approach and then verified experimentally. A pair of 32-channel optical phased arrays fabricated by use of surface elec...
