Fabry-Pérot (FP) polymer film sensors are used as ultrasound sensors for Photoacoustic (PA) imaging. Optical models predict that FP sensors should have higher sensitivity than observed experimentally. The models assume FP sensors to be optically flat whereas in practice the polymer film spacer exhibits a degree of surface roughness. To understand the impact of the roughness, an optical model of rough FP sensors was developed. Theoretical results show that roughness can reduce the optical sensitivity by a factor of two. The model will help to guide the design of FP sensors to optimize their sensitivity and, therefore, the imaging depth.
