Photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) embedded with a 532 nm pulse laser is widely used to visualize the microvascular structures in both small animals and humans in vivo. An opto-ultrasound combiner (OUC) is often utilized in high-speed PAM to confocally align the optical and acoustic beams to improve the system's sensitivity. However, acoustic impedance mismatch in the OUC results in little improvement in the sensitivity.

A novel fiber-optic hydrophone based on a dual-polarization, short-cavity fiber grating laser as the sensing element is described. Wet chemical etching was used to fabricate a thinned fiber sensor to extend its frequency response as well as spatial resolution. The lateral beam profile at the focal plane of a 40-MHz lens-focused lithium niobate (LiNbO) transducer was measured with the fiber sensor, and a tomographic technique was used to compute the transducer profile, which is compared with that obtained by a PVDF hydrophone.
