Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrated a novel method to utilize a scattering near infrared light localized by an amplitude-modulated ultrasonic wave to image a buried object in a dense scattering medium through the synchronous scanning of the focused-ultrasound and a NIR laser beam. The frequency of the ultrasound (carrier wave) for localization of scattering light is 1MHz, and its amplitude is modulated by a low frequency sine waveform (modulation wave, 10KHz). The low frequency light signal from the focal zone of the ultrasound demodulated by real-time FFT. This scheme can increase a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the ultrasound-localized-optical-tomography of tissues structure with different optical parameters. A better-quality optical tomography image of buried objects within simulating tissue is reconstructed by the detection and demodulation of the scattering light under the action of amplitude-modulated ultrasonic wave.
