Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thermoacoustic imaging, and in particular relates to an ultrashort pulse microwave thermoacoustic imaging method and a device thereof. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the research on thermoacoustic effect and thermoacoustic imaging technology has received more and more attention. When a substance is irradiated with high-power short-pulse microwaves, the substance absorbs the microwave energy and causes an instantaneous temperature rise. In the case of a relatively narrow microwave excitation pulse width, the absorbed energy cannot undergo thermal diffusion within the duration of the microwave pulse, and the substance will Adiabatic expansion occurs, and heat energy is converted into mechanical energy in the form of ultrasonic radiation, which is the thermoacoustic effect. The thermoacoustic effect is actually an energy conversion process. According to the heat conduction equation and wave ...
