Laser-generated Ultrasound Technology

Comprehensive reference on various laser-generated ultrasound technologies and their applications across fields

Laser-generated Ultrasound Technology explores basic principles, device development, and applications in laser-generated ultrasound. The book delves into the photoacoustic effect and its history and addresses several types of laser-generated ultrasound devices.

This book includes information on:

• Laser-generated ultrasound therapy, covering neuromodulation, drug delivery, and histotripsy/thrombolysis
• Laser-induced ultrasound devices, covering metal-PDMS composite-based devices and carbon nanomaterial-PDMS composite-based devices
• All-optical ultrasound imaging, covering fiber-based ultrasonic excitation, optical detection technology of ultrasound, and biological imaging
• The theory of laser-generated ultrasound pressure, frequency regulation of laser-generated ultrasound, and prediction of laser-induced damage threshold

Laser-generated Ultrasound Technology is an essential introductory resource on the subject for researchers in optics, materials, and biomedical ultrasound.
