Figure 4

Acoustic pressure generated by laser absorption in a 100 μm bloodlike object embedded in tissue, as a function of tissue depth. The dotted line represents the detection limit using a PVDF piezoelectric detector array, and the dashed line represents the detection limit of a PROUD array. No averaging is assumed except coherent summation over 2500 array elements. Laser fluence is 20 mJ∕cm2.
