Acousto photonics b Increasing optical resolution within turbid media with acoustic interaction

Near infrared NIR light can penetrate biological tissue but is scattered within less than a millimeter of travel Localized metabolic signals related to oxygenated hemoglobin along with variations in blood flow can be observed by combining electromagnetic light and pressure ultrasound waves within the tissue Two hybrid modalities are investigated: o7 Acousto optics: Coherent NIR light illuminates the tissue and ultrasound waves are introduced simultaneously to
