Photoacoustic tomography system based on Diode Laser to Imaging of some types of materials

Abstract

Photoacoustic tomography imaging research has been conducted to distinguish several types of materials. The photoacoustic tomography imaging system used in this study uses a diode laser as a source of radiation and a condenser microphone as a detection tool. The sample is a combination of two types of materials, namely plasticine + iron wire, plasticine + cardboard, plasticine + mica plastic, and mica plastic + cardboard. Optimum setting of laser modulation frequency and duty cycle system to distinguish images from plasticine samples + iron wire and plasticine + cardboard, i.e., 19 kHz and 50%, while to recognize images from plasticine samples + mica plastic and mica plastic + cardboard, which is 19.5 kHz and 50%. The photoacoustic tomography image system used can detect and image the sample clearly, the striking color difference between one material, and another shows the difference in sound intensity.
