AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the above existing solutions all have the disadvantages of increased optical or acoustic reflection loss, reduced receiving area of ​​the acoustic detector, and high processing difficulty, resulting in reduced sensitivity of laser ultrasonic excitation and reception, and the mechanical scanning structure increases the volume and complexity of the system. sex
On the other hand, the above structure greatly limits the size of the imaging scanning area, whether it is optical scanning or mechanical scanning, which greatly reduces the real-time performance of the system, and usually collects laser ultrasonic signals during the entire depth propagation time period, resulting in total data It is difficult to achieve fast and large-area laser ultrasound imaging

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-sensitivity large-area laser ultrasonic imaging method, which can realize fast laser ultrasonic imaging in a back mode with simple structure, high sensitivity and large field of view. In the present invention, the microlens array made of piezoelectric material with high optical transmittance is selected as the laser micro-focusing unit and the ultrasonic signal receiving unit at the same time, and the coaxial, confocal and integrated structure of the optical and acoustic paths is cleverly realized. Eliminates the optical or acoustic multiple reflection excitation or reception structure, effectively improves the efficiency of laser ultrasonic excitation, the sensitivity of reception and the signal-to-noise ratio, and it is easier to realize the miniaturization and large-area imaging of laser ultrasonic lenses, which is expected to be applied In biometric identification, medical subcutaneous vascular imaging, non-destructive testing of materials and other fields.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an imaging method, in particular to a high-sensitivity large-area laser ultrasonic imaging method, which is suitable for the fields of biological blood vessel imaging and identification, non-destructive flaw detection of material sub-surface and the like. Background technique [0002] Laser ultrasonic imaging technology is a new type of non-destructive testing technology that can achieve high-resolution medical or industrial detection at the level of hundreds of microns to tens of nanometers. In the microscopic imaging mode, the resolution is higher and the required laser energy is lower. As low as the nano-focus level, the optical excitation path and the acoustic detection path usually require a coaxial confocal structure to improve the laser ultrasonic excitation and detection efficiency. [0003] The commonly used scheme is to add a light-transmitting and anti-acoustic (or sound-transmitting and reflective) element in the op...
