As an emerging technology, transcranial focused ultrasound has been demonstrated to successfully evoke motor responses in mice, rabbits, and sensory/motor responses in humans. Yet, the spatial resolution of ultrasound does not allow for…
A bidirectional brain interface with both "write" and "read" functions can be an important tool for fundamental studies and potential clinical treatments for neurological diseases. Here we report a miniaturized multifunctional fiber based…
Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is a promising imaging modality because it is able to reveal optical absorption contrast in high resolution on the order of a micrometer. It can be applied in an endoscopic approach by implementing PAM into a…
Acoustoelectric (AE) imaging provides electro-anatomical contrast by mapping the distribution of electric fields in biological tissues, by delivering ultrasound waves which spatially modulate the medium resistivity via the AE effect. The…
Opto-mechanical oscillators that generate coherent acoustic waves are drawing much interest, in both fundamental research and applications. Narrowband oscillations can be obtained through the introduction of feedback to the acoustic wave.…

Optical wireless communication (OWC) leverages the terahertz-scale optical spectrum to enable ultra-fast data transfer, offering a compelling alternative to often-congested radio frequency systems. However, the highly directional nature of…
High-frequency focused ultrasound is widely used in biomedical applications such as high-resolution imaging, neuromodulation, particle manipulation, and so on. However, dynamic tuning of the focal plane in conventional systems often relies…
Point-like broadband ultrasound detection can significantly increase the resolution of ultrasonography and optoacoustic (photoacoustic) imaging, yet current ultrasound detectors cannot be miniaturised sufficiently. Piezoelectric transducers…
Synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) provide uniquely versatile platforms to generate ultrafast mid-infrared pulses within a spectral range beyond the access of conventional mode-locked lasers. However, conventional…

Light-sound interactions have long been exploited in various acousto-optic devices based on bulk crystalline materials. Conventionally these devices operate in megahertz frequency range where the acoustic wavelength is much longer than the…
Non-invasive stimulation of small, variably shaped brain sub-regions is crucial for advancing our understanding of brain functions. Current ultrasound neuromodulation faces two significant trade-offs when targeting brain sub-regions:…
Focusing light into opaque random or scattering media such as biological tissue is a much sought-after goal for biomedical applications such as photodynamic therapy, optical manipulation, and photostimulation. However, focusing with…
High precision neuromodulation is a powerful tool to decipher neurocircuits and treat neurological diseases. Current non-invasive neuromodulation methods offer limited precision at the millimeter level. Here, we report optically-generated…
The penetration depth of photoacoustic imaging in biological tissues has been fundamentally limited by the strong optical attenuation when light is delivered externally through the tissue surface. To address this issue, we previously…
