. Significance Photoacoustic (PA) imaging (PAI) represents an emerging modality within the realm of biomedical imaging technology. It seamlessly blends the wealth of optical contrast with the remarkable depth of penetration offered by ultrasound. These distinctive features of PAI hold tremendous potential for various applications, including early cancer detection, functional imaging, hybrid imaging, monitoring ablation therapy, and providing guidance during surgical procedures. The synergy between PAI and other cutting-edge technologies not only enhances its capabilities but also propels it toward broader clinical applicability. Aim The integration of PAI with advanced technology for PA signal detection, signal processing, image reconstruction, hybrid imaging, and clinical applications has significantly bolstered the capabilities of PAI. This review endeavor contributes to a deeper comprehension of how the synergy between PAI and other advanced technologies can lead to improved applications. Approach An examination of the evolving research frontiers in PAI, integrated with other advanced technologies, reveals six key categories named “PAI plus X.” These categories encompass a range of topics, including but not limited to PAI plus treatment, PAI plus circuits design, PAI plus accurate positioning system, PAI plus fast scanning systems, PAI plus ultrasound sensors, PAI plus advanced laser sources, PAI plus deep learning, and PAI plus other imaging modalities. Results After conducting a comprehensive review of the existing literature and research on PAI integrated with other technologies, various proposals have emerged to advance the development of PAI plus X. These proposals aim to enhance system hardware, improve imaging quality, and address clinical challenges effectively. Conclusions The progression of innovative and sophisticated approaches within each category of PAI plus X is positioned to drive significant advancements in both the development of PAI technology and its clinical applications. Furthermore, PAI not only has the potential to integrate with the above-mentioned technologies but also to broaden its applications even further.

Endoscopy, enabling high-resolution imaging of deep tissues and internal organs, plays an important role in basic research and clinical practice. Recent advances in photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), demonstrating excellent capabilities in high-resolution functional imaging, have sparked significant interest in its integration into the field of endoscopy. However, there are challenges in achieving functional PAM in the endoscopic setting. This Perspective article discusses current progress in the development of endoscopic PAM and the challenges related to functional measurements. Then, it points out potential directions to advance endoscopic PAM for functional imaging by leveraging fiber optics, microfabrication, optical engineering, and computational approaches. Finally, it highlights emerging opportunities for functional endoscopic PAM in basic and translational biomedicine.

Infrared soft glass hollow-core anti-resonant fibers (HC-ARF) with low loss, excellent mode purity, and robust high-power transmission capabilities have vast potential in mid-infrared high-power laser transmission and biomedical fields. Despite this, the fabrication of these fibers still faces formidable challenges, coupled with an incomplete understanding of the transmission characteristics, thereby amplifying the value of further exploration. In this paper, we fabricate a six-cell nodeless infrared HC-ARF originating from purified sulfide glass, synthesized using a meticulous “stack-and-draw” method and dual-gas-path pressure control method. Notably, we experimentally validate the theoretical performance expectations of this fiber. The fiber exhibits outstanding transmission capabilities and optical transmission quality, characterized by a recorded loss of 0.56 dB/m at 4.79 µm. This is already comparable to traditional step-index sulfide fibers, fully demonstrating its tremendous research value and application potential. Our work has successfully fabricated the lowest loss anti-resonant fiber on record in the mid-infrared field, propelling the development of sulfide HC-ARFs into a new phase and laying a solid foundation for the realization of fiber applications in laser transmission and the biomedical field.
