Ultrasonic enhancement of photoacoustic emissions by nanoparticle-targeted cavitation

A technique to enhance the photoacoustic emissions from laser-heated nanoparticles is presented. Gold nano particle-doped phantoms are subjected to pulsed optical and ultrasound fields, resulting in bubble formation and collapse and producing strong acoustic emissions. The applied ultrasound field a...
