Photoacoustic-guided convergence of light through optically diffusive media

Abstract: We demonstrate that laser beams can be converged toward a light-absorbing target through optically diffusive media by using photoacoustic-guided interferometric focusing. The convergence of light is achieved by shaping the wavefront of the incident light with a deformable mirror to maximize the photoacoustic signal, which is propor tional to the scattered light intensity at the light absorber.

“…Especially the new anisotropic memory effect [85] opens new possibilities for deep tissue imaging. Finally, new feedback mechanisms are being explored that allow focusing light at arbitrary locations inside scattering tissue [57,61,62,64]. Even though these methods are currently too slow for in-vivo imaging, there is still plenty of room for improvement both through engineering and through a better understanding of the physics of scattered light and sound/light interaction.…”

“…In many imaging scenarios, however, there is no direct access to the target plane. In those cases, nonlinear 6 , fluorescent 7 , kinematic 8,9 , acoustooptic [10][11][12] and photo-acoustic [13][14][15] guide stars can be used as reference beacons. However, these techniques provide wavefront information for only one target location at a time.…”

“…Therefore, it can potentially serve as a nearly perfect noninvasive guidestar. The idea of photoacoustically guided wavefront shaping (PAWS) was first proposed in 2011 by Kong et al, 86 which has rapidly gained attention and has been followed by several other research groups. [87][88][89][90][91] Using the amplitude of photoacoustic signals as feedback for optimization algorithms that control the updating of the wavefront compensation patterns on the SLM, optical energy within the ultrasonic focus gradually increases with the growth of the feedback signal.…”
