UNASSIGNED: We aim to characterize and demonstrate the imaging performance of a miniature FP sensor to evaluate the effects of reduced size and finite dimensions.
UNASSIGNED: A transfer matrix model was developed to characterize the frequency response of a multilayer miniature FP sensor. An analytical model was derived to describe the effects of a substrate with finite thickness. Finite-element analysis was performed to characterize the temporal response of a sensor with finite dimensions. Miniature 2×2 mm2 FP sensors were designed and fabricated using gold films as reflective mirrors on either side of a parylene C film deposited on a glass wafer. A single-wavelength laser was used to interrogate the sensor using illumination delivered by fiber subprobes. Imaging phantoms were used to verify FP sensor performance, and in vivo images of blood vessels were collected from a live mouse.
UNASSIGNED: The finite thickness substrate of the FP sensor resulted in echoes in the time domain signal that could be removed by back filtering. The substrate acted as a filter in the frequency domain. The finite lateral sensor dimensions produced side waves that could be eliminated by surface averaging using an interrogation beam with adequate diameter. The fabricated FP sensor produced a noise-equivalent pressure = 0.76 kPa, bandwidth of 16.6 MHz, a spectral full-width at-half-maximum = 0.2886 nm, and quality factor Q=2694. Photoacoustic images were collected from phantoms and blood vessels in a live mouse.
