Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) can process contextual information such as time series signals and language. But their tracking of internal states is a limiting factor, motivating research on analog implementations in photonics. While photonic unidirectional feedforward neural networks (NNs) have demonstrated big leaps, bi-directional optical RNNs present a challenge: the need for a short-term memory that (i) programmable and coherently computes optical inputs, (ii) minimizes added noise, and (iii) allows scalability.

Article Synopsis
  • - Ultrasound coupling is a major challenge in using traditional photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) for clinical examination of chronic wounds.
  • - Photoacoustic remote sensing (PARS) is a promising solution that utilizes all-optical measurements and has shown potential in functional imaging of tissue but needs further exploration in hemodynamic quantification.
  • - The study introduces an all-optical thermal-tagging flowmetry method for PARS Microscopy, demonstrating its effectiveness with high accuracy in measuring blood flow rates from 0 to 12 mm/s without using dyes.

High-resolution optoacoustic imaging at depths beyond the optical diffusion limit is conventionally performed using a microscopy setup where a strongly focused ultrasound transducer samples the image object point-by-point. Although recent advancements in miniaturized ultrasound detectors enables one to achieve microscopic resolution with an unfocused detector in a tomographic configuration, such an approach requires illuminating the entire object, leading to an inefficient use of the optical power, and imposing a trans-illumination configuration that is limited to thin objects. We developed an optoacoustic micro-tomography system in an epi-illumination configuration, in which the illumination is scanned with the detector.

The gigahertz acoustic vibration of nano-optomechanical systems plays an indispensable role in all-optical manipulation of light, quantum control of mechanical modes, on-chip data processing, and optomechanical sensing. However, the high optical, thermal, and mechanical energy losses severely limit the development of nano-optomechanical metasurfaces. Here, we demonstrated a high-quality 5 GHz optoacoustic vibration and ultrafast optomechanical all-optical manipulation in a sub-5 nm tip-supported nano-optomechanical metasurface (TSNOMS).
