Abstract
We experimentally demonstrated and quantitatively evaluated a non-contact nanometer-displacement measurement using phase-diversity optical digital coherent detection implemented by a 90 ° optical hybrid and a narrow-linewidth probe laser without fine-tuning of optical path length difference (OPD). Combined with a comb filter, the system exhibits 99.99% linearity detection with a scale and resolution of approximately 7 nm and 2 nm respectively, as well as a wideband vibration of 5.85 MHz. We also experimentally analyzed the effect of noise arising from the OPD and demonstrated the detection of displacement down to 85 nm with a resolution of 24 nm at an OPD of 342 cm.

Axial accuracy and signal enhancement in acoustic-resolution photoacoustic microscopy by laser jitter effect correction and pulse energy compensation. BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 2021; 12:1834-1845. [PMID: 33996201 PMCID: PMC8086458 DOI: 10.1364/boe.419564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2021] [Revised: 02/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/22/2021] [Indexed: 05/02/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, photoacoustic imaging has found vast applications in biomedical imaging. Photoacoustic imaging has high optical contrast and high ultrasound resolution allowing deep tissue non-invasive imaging beyond the optical diffusion limit. Q-switched lasers are extensively used in photoacoustic imaging due to the availability of high energy and short laser pulses, which are essential for high-resolution photoacoustic imaging. In most cases, this type of light source suffers from pulse peak-power energy variations and timing jitter noise, resulting in uncertainty in the output power and arrival time of the laser pulses. These problems cause intensity degradation and temporal displacement of generated photoacoustic signals which in turn deteriorate the quality of the acquired photoacoustic images. In this study, we used a high-speed data acquisition system in combination with a fast photodetector and a software-based approach to capture laser pulses precisely in order to reduce the effect of timing jitter and normalization of the photoacoustic signals based on pulse peak-powers simultaneously. In the experiments, maximum axial accuracy enhancement of 14 µm was achieved in maximum-amplitude projected images on XZ and YZ planes with ±13.5 ns laser timing jitter. Furthermore, photoacoustic signal enhancement of 77% was obtained for 75% laser pulses peak-power stability.

Abstract
We demonstrate a noncontact single-beam acoustic trapping method for the quantification of the mechanical properties of a single suspended cell with label-free. Experimentally results show that the single-beam acoustic trapping force results in morphological deformation of a trapped cell. While a cancer cell was trapped in an acoustic beam focus, the morphological changes of the immobilized cell were monitored using bright-field imaging. The cell deformability was then compared with that of a trapped polystyrene microbead as a function of the applied acoustic pressure for a better understanding of the relationship between the pressure and degree of cell deformation. Cell deformation was found to become more pronounced as higher pressure levels were applied. Furthermore, to determine if this acoustic trapping method can be exploited in quantifying the cell mechanics in a suspension and in a non-contact manner, the deformability levels of breast cancer cells with different degrees of invasiveness due to acoustic trapping were compared. It was found that highly-invasive breast cancer cells exhibited greater deformability than weakly-invasive breast cancer cells. These results clearly demonstrate that the single-beam acoustic trapping technique is a promising tool for non-contact quantitative assessments of the mechanical properties of single cells in suspensions with label-free.
