The invention discloses a lateral transceiving integrated
optical fiber ultrasonic
endoscope and a preparation method, and belongs to the field of ultrasonic
endoscopic imaging. Comprising a double-clad
optical fiber, an excitation film, a
dielectric mirror and a sensing film. A part of the inner cladding of the
optical fiber is etched into a concave spherical surface and coated with an excitation film, excitation light transmitted in the inner cladding is absorbed, and focused ultrasonic
waves transmitted in the lateral direction are excited. A part of an inner cladding layer and a
fiber core of the optical
fiber are etched, and a Fabry-Perot (Fabry-Perot, F-P) cavity is prepared. When an ultrasonic
signal laterally transmitted into the ultrasonic
endoscope acts on the sensing film of the cavity, the
effective refractive index and the F-P cavity length of the sensing film are changed, and the change is demodulated through
signal light in the
fiber core to complete
ultrasonic detection. According to the lateral transmitting-receiving integrated optical fiber ultrasonic
endoscope, the inner cladding is etched and coated with the excitation thin film to excite laterally focused ultrasonic
waves, an F-P cavity is formed through lateral
etching of the optical fiber to achieve lateral
ultrasonic detection, and the lateral transmitting-receiving integrated optical fiber ultrasonic endoscope is formed.
