Abstract

The spatially-resolved interrogation of a Fabry-Perot ultrasound sensor using a laser beam focussed through a multimode fibre is demonstrated. To scan the beam across the sensor as required to read it out, optical wavefront shaping was employed to compensate for the scrambling of light in the fibre. By providing a means to map ultrasound through inexpensive, lightweight fibres, this could lead to new ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging systems such as endoscopes and flexible handheld probes.
