RF signals from one of the array channels for the phantom with a NEB-GNS polyacrylamide inclusion located inside an agarose gel. (a) PA signal, (b) (PA + US+) signal, (c) (PA + US−) signal, (d) subtraction of (b) with US+ signal, (e) subtraction of (c) with US− signal, (f) SPA signal. An 8-cycle US excitation at 3 MHz and focused to 60 mm was synchronized with lasing. The acoustic pressure measured at 35 mm is 1.6 MPa; the laser fluence is 5.2 mJ/cm2.
