Abstract
Photoacoustic mesoscopy is an emerging noninvasive imaging modality, which offers high resolution 3D images with optical absorption contrast at depths beyond the light diffusion limit. Ultrasound sensor based on a Fabry-Perot (FP) polymer cavity has the following advantages: broadband frequency response, wide angular coverage and small footprint. We present a photoacoustic mesoscope based on a tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer, which offers the potential for reducing system cost and making array of such sensor. A cw diode laser working at 650nm was used to heat the sensor, offering an active tune range of 5nm by elongating the cavity. Ex-vivo and in-vivo imaging experiments demonstrated the imaging capability of this PA mesoscope, showing great potential in biological and medical applications.
