Phase transitions in CsPbCl$_3$ crystals have been explored by photoacoustic (PA) method in a wide temperature range of 150--300 K. The PA signals, induced by ns-pulsed laser excitation of electronic states and detected with a piezoelectric…

Although the photoacoustic effect is most commonly generated by pulsed or amplitude modulated continuous optical sources, it is possible to generate acoustic waves by moving a constant amplitude, continuous light beam. If the light beam…

Photoacoustic effect refers to the acoustic generation induced by laser irradiation, where nanosecond pulsed laser source is normally used to provide instantaneous heating and thermoelastic expansion of the sample. More generally,…

Several centimeters below the skin lie multiple biomarkers, such as glucose, oxygenation, and blood flow. Monitoring these biomarkers regularly and in a non-invasive manner would enable early insight into metabolic status and vascular…

A photoacoustic (PA) sensor based on higher order acoustic modes is demonstrated. The PA sensor is designed to enhance the gas-detection performance and simultaneously suppress ambient noise sources (e.g. flow noise, electrical noise and…

We demonstrate surface acoustic waves inside polystyrene microspheres of different sizes experimentally through photoacoustic microscopy and validate the experimental result with simulation. A novel method for sample preparation of a lifted…

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging of deep tissue tends to employ Q-switched lasers with high pulse energy to generate high optical fluence and therefore high PA signal. Compared to Q-switched lasers, pulsed laser diodes (PLDs) typically generate…

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a powerful imaging modality that relies on the PA effect. PAI works on the principle of electromagnetic energy absorption by the exogenous contrast agents and/or endogenous molecules present in the biological…

In recent years, photoacoustics has attracted intensive research for both anatomical and functional biomedical imaging. However, the physical interaction between photoacoustic generated endogenous waves and an exogenous ultrasound wave is a…

We demonstrate photoacoustic wave propagation with a plane wavefront in liquid water using a terahertz (THz) laser pulse. The THz light can effectively generate the photoacoustic wave in water because of strong absorption via a stretching…

The mechanism of acoustic wave propagation in supercooled liquids is not yet fully understood since the vibrational dynamics of supercooled liquids are strongly affected by their amorphous inherent structures. In this paper, the acoustic…

Photoassociation (PA) is a powerful technique to synthesize molecules directly and continuously from cold and ultracold atoms into deeply bound molecular states. In freespace, however, PA efficiency is constrained by the number of…

Photoacoustic tomography leverages ultrasound's deep tissue penetration to retrieve optical absorption contrast well beyond the optical diffusion limit. Conventional photoacoustic systems rely on externally delivered light and are therefore…
