Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photonics imaging, in particular to a miniature photoacoustic sensor based on a cMUT ring array. Background technique [0002] Photoacoustic imaging is a non-invasive, non-destructive photonics detection technology using ultrasound as the medium. It combines the advantages of pure optical technology and pure ultrasound technology, and uses ultrasonic detection instead of detecting scattered photons, thus avoiding the shortcomings of high scattering, low sensitivity, low detection depth, strong interference and other methods such as near infrared spectroscopy in principle. Compared with other photonics methods, it shows more attractive advantages. [0003] Different types of acoustic wave sensors are one of the key equipment of the photoacoustic detection system, such as piezoelectric sensors, capacitive sensors, non-contact optical detectors, etc. At present, the commonly used detection devices in photoacousti...
