ABSTRACT
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT), which combines the advantages of both light and ultrasound, is a promising imaging modality for deep-tissue high-resolution imaging. Among existing implementations, camera-based UOT gains huge advances in modulation depth through parallel detection. However, limited by the long exposure time and the slow framerate of modern cameras, the measurement of UOT signals always requires holographic methods with additional reference beams. This requirement increases system complexity and is susceptible to environmental disturbances. To overcome this challenge, we develop coaxial interferometry for camera-based UOT in this work. Such a coaxial scheme is enabled by employing paired illumination with slightly different optical frequencies. To measure the UOT signal, the conventional phase-stepping method in holography can be directly transplanted into coaxial interferometry. Specifically, we performed both numerical investigations and experimental validations for camera-based UOT under the proposed coaxial scheme. One-dimensional imaging for an absorptive target buried inside a scattering medium was demonstrated. With coaxial interferometry, this work presents an effective way to reduce system complexity and cope with environmental disturbances for camera-based UOT.
