Scalable Large Field‐of‐view 3D Photoacoustic Ultrasound Imaging With Digital Multiplexing for Human Extremities

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
A digitally multiplexed, large‐aperture photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging architecture is presented to overcome the fundamental limited‐view artifact inherent in conventional arrays. By significantly broadening the structural detection coverage, this scalable platform enables high‐fidelity 3D visualization of human extremities within a single ...

Intensity Noise Dynamics in Terahertz Quantum Cascade Lasers

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.
Intensity‐noise dynamics in terahertz quantum cascade lasers are investigated across single‐mode, dense‐comb and harmonic‐comb regimes using graphene thermoelectric detectors. Harmonic combs show ∼10% lower relative intensity noise, while RIN scales as P0−γ$P_0^{ - \gamma }$ with γ≈1.2$\gamma \approx 1.2$, revealing a crossover from spontaneous ...
