A method for calibration of ultrasonic sensors for optoacoustics that provides both frequency response and sensitivity is presented. In order to obtain the bandwidth and the frequency response of an uncalibrated sensor, a ...

In this work we present what we believe is the first application of software-defined optoelectronics (SDO) for bidimensional optoacoustic tomography (OAT). The SDO concept refers to optoelectronic systems where the ...

The detection system for optoacoustic tomography(OAT) usually employs broadband piezoelectric sensors basedon polymeric materials. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) andits copolymers are amongst the most popular ones. Within ...

Speeding up data acquisition and reducing the complexity of the detection system are among the central goals for advancing optoacoustic imaging. In this way, new reconstruction algorithms using the compressed sensing (CS) ...

ABSTRACT: Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) is an emerging imaging technology that generates high-resolution images by combining optical excitation and ultrasound detection. It has the ability to capture anatomical, ...

In this work, we present a three-dimensional model for the design of wideband piezoelectric polymer sensors which includes the geometry and the properties of the transducer materials. The model uses FFT and numerical ...

Laser-induced optoacoustic spectroscopy (LIOAS), diffuse reflectance laser flash photolysis (DRLFP), and laser-induced luminescence (LIL) have been applied in conjunction to the determination of triplet state quantum yields ...

This work studies the adverse effects, as regards noise, of immersing in water an integrating line piezoelectric detector devoted to optoacoustic imaging. We found that the sensor, in conjunction with the acoustic coupling ...
