Novel combined optoacoustic and laser-ultrasound transducer array system

  • Published:
Moscow University Physics Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

A new multichannel integral system enabling simultaneous laser-optoacoutic and laser-ultrasonic and optical-acoustic images in real time has been proposed. The new potential of such a system and the advantages of both methods (large depth of penetration, high image contrast, and spatial resolution) are discussed in detail.
