Problems solved by technology

Ultrasonic transducers are made of piezoelectric materials. Due to the limitation of piezoelectric materials, the bandwidth of ultrasonic transducers is relatively narrow, the frequency band is single, the sensitivity of small sizes is insufficient, and the cost is high.
So far, there is no highly integrated photoacoustic detection system that can perform wide-bandwidth photoacoustic detection of microfluidics on the basis of simple structure and low cost.
