Optimizing the light delivery of linear-array-based photoacoustic systems by double acoustic reflectors

Abstract Although linear transducer arrays have been intensely used in photoacoustic imaging, their geometrical shape constrains light illumination. Today, most linear array based photoacoustic systems utilize side-illumination geometry, which consists of two line fiber bundles attached to the side...
