Originally developed for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, piezoelectric transducers are the
most widespread technology employed in optoacoustic (photoacoustic) signal detection …

Photoacoustic imaging is a new type of noninvasive, nonradiation imaging modality that
combines the deep penetration of ultrasonic imaging and high specificity of optical imaging …

Highly sensitive broadband ultrasound detectors are needed to expand the capabilities of
biomedical ultrasound, photoacoustic imaging and industrial ultrasonic non-destructive …

The clinical assessment of microvascular pathologies (in diabetes and in inflammatory skin
diseases, for example) requires the visualization of superficial vascular anatomy …

This book provides a highly practical treatment of Glancing Angle Deposition (GLAD), a thin
film fabrication technology optimized to produce precise nanostructures from a wide range of …

The roughness of a surface is known to have a strong influence on the sputtering process.
Commonly used 1D Monte Carlo codes for calculating sputter yields show good agreement …

We demonstrate an ultrasonic detector with unprecedented broad bandwidth and high
sensitivity, based on an imprinted polymer optical microring. It has an acoustic response of …

A coherent-light single-pixel camera was used to interrogate a Fabry–Perot polymer film
ultrasound sensor, thereby serially encoding a time-varying 2D ultrasonic field onto a single …

Photoacoustic imaging, especially for intravascular and endoscopic applications, requires
ultrasound probes with miniature size and high sensitivity. In this paper, we present a new …

Three-dimensional photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) has gained considerable attention
within the biomedical imaging community during the past decade. Detecting laser-induced …
