Abstract
AbstractPhotoacoustic endoscopy shows promise in the detection of gastrointestinal cancer, inflammation, and other lesions. High-resolution endoscopic imaging of the hemodynamic response necessitates a small-sized, high-sensitivity ultrasound sensor. Here, we utilize a laser ultrasound sensor to develop a miniaturized, optical-resolution photoacoustic endoscope. The sensor can boost the acoustic response by a gain factor of ωo/Ω (the frequency ratio of the signal light and measured ultrasound) by measuring the acoustically induced optical phase change. As a result, we achieve a noise-equivalent pressure density (NEPD) below 1.5 mPa·Hz−1/2 over the measured range of 5 to 25 MHz. The heterodyne phase detection using dual-frequency laser beams of the sensor can offer resistance to thermal drift and vibrational perturbations. The endoscope is used to in vivo image a rat rectum and visualize the oxygen saturation changes during acute inflammation, which can hardly be observed with other imaging modalities.
