Abstract

As recently demonstrated, all-optical B-mode ultrasound imaging can be performed with a pair of coated optical fibres for transmission and reception that is translated to create a virtual array of elements. However, with translation in the in-plane dimension, the small lateral dimensions of the fibres results in out-of-plane acoustic divergence, which leads to image clutter and loss of sensitivity.
